This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 18. 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 01 April 2026.
All research outputs
#2,671,586
of 34,427,148 outputs
Outputs from New England Journal of Medicine
#17,321
of 38,395 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#16,089
of 228,863 outputs
Outputs of similar age from New England Journal of Medicine
#187
of 348 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,427,148 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 38,395 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 120.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% 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 228,863 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 348 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
