This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 January 2026.
All research outputs
#23,331,415
of 34,413,214 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
#7,916
of 10,269 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#157,148
of 349,179 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
#45
of 85 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,413,214 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,269 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 349,179 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 85 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
