Abstract

To characterize the interventional radiology Twitter network by analyzing tweets bearing the #IRad hashtag. A total of 61,055 consecutive tweets bearing the hashtag #IRad composed by 5,704 Twitter users from January 8, 2015 to October 13, 2017 were analyzed. Twitter analytics, including activity metrics, content analysis, user characteristics, engagement, and network analysis, were obtained with the use of Symplur Signals, a health care social media analytics platform. The number of tweets bearing the #IRad hashtag, the number of users, and the number of impressions increased by 124%, 76%, and 102%, respectively, over the past year. Regarding tweet content, 4,571 tweets (7.5%) reported new or innovative topics and 4,040 tweets (6.6%) pertained to patients; 19,409 (31.8%) tweets contained at least 1 image and 15,245 tweets (25.0%) included links to websites or journals. Embolization, ablation, and stent placement were commonly discussed topics. Endoscopy, transarterial chemoembolization, uterine artery embolization, and prostate artery embolization discussions were trending more commonly. As for engagement, there were 39,953 retweets (65.4%), 50,452 mentions (82.6%), and 1,704 replies (2.8%). Physicians and patients authored 29,182 (47.8%) and 127 (0.8%) tweets, respectively. Network analysis demonstrated advocate, provider, and media organizations, and physicians as the most active participants using the #IRad hashtag on Twitter. The use of the #IRad hashtag by interventional radiologists is growing rapidly, with the majority of discussions involving medical professionals and medical-related organizations.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 24 April 2018.
All research outputs
#5,341,501
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology
#1,186
of 3,810 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#109,771
of 448,849 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology
#39
of 64 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 78th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,810 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% 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 448,849 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 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 64 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
