Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. 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 04 May 2026.
All research outputs
#3,546,400
of 32,572,863 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#19,068
of 37,452 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,789
of 82,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#73
of 145 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,572,863 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 37,452 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 119.7. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% 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 82,487 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 145 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
