Abstract

Social media sites such as Twitter can significantly enhance education and advocacy efforts. In 2013, the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) launched a Twitter chat series using the hashtag #pulmcc to educate and advocate for topics related to pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. To assess the reach of these chats, we analyzed the metrics using Symplur analytics, and compared data from each chat, as well as participant data. Since 12/19/13, there have been twelve Twitter chats; six have been on Critical Care related topics, four on Pulmonary/Sleep related topics, and two conducted during the CHEST annual meeting on more general topics. During these one-hour Twitter chats there were a total of 4,212 tweets by 418 participants resulting in 9,361,519 impressions (i.e. views). There were similar numbers of participants and tweets in the three categories of Twitter chats, but there was a significantly greater reach during the more general Twitter chats conducted at the CHEST annual meeting with 1,596,013 + 126,472 impressions per chat session at these chats, compared to 739,203 + 73,109 impressions per chat session during the Critical Care Twitter chats and 621,965+ 123,933 impressions per chat session in the Pulmonary/Sleep chats. Seventy-five of the participants participated in 2 or more #pulmcc Twitter chats and the average percent of return participants in each chat was 30% + 7%. The large majority of the return participants were healthcare providers. Twitter chats can be a powerful tool for the widespread engagement of a medical audience.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 30. 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 23 November 2017.
All research outputs
#1,315,615
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from CHEST
#1,048
of 13,212 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#26,081
of 322,029 outputs
Outputs of similar age from CHEST
#17
of 91 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,212 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% 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 322,029 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 91% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 91 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
