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 18 May 2025.
All research outputs
#5,272,299
of 28,330,556 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#21,176
of 35,410 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#32,880
of 183,454 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#198
of 282 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 28,330,556 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 35,410 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.2. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% 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 183,454 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 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 282 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
