An increase in kidney cancer was reported in the United States but overall rates may obscure trends in age specific groups. We explored whether the increase in kidney cancer incidence differs across age groups.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 10 January 2012.
All research outputs
#19,158,240
of 27,783,697 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Urology
#15,212
of 19,809 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#107,052
of 149,511 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Urology
#67
of 81 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,783,697 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 19,809 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.5. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% 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 149,511 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 81 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
