Although much remains to be done, recent advances and the advent of new methodologies are promising and should yield increased understanding of the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms influencing the pathogenesis of COPD, both related and unrelated to severe AAT deficiency. Such understanding should ultimately be translated into novel approaches to prevent, diagnose, and treat COPD.

Attention Score in Context
Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. 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 11 January 2026.
All research outputs
#6,143,924
of 34,559,526 outputs
Outputs from Medical clinics of North America
#341
of 1,734 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,156
of 203,310 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Medical clinics of North America
#8
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,559,526 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,734 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
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 203,310 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 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
