Abstract	Care from the family physician is generally interrupted when patients with cancer come under the care of second-line and third-line healthcare professionals who may also manage the patient's comorbid conditions. This situation may lead to fragmented and uncoordinated care, and results in an increased likelihood of not receiving recommended preventive services or recommended care.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 January 2022.

All research outputs

#6,142,795

of 22,788,370 outputs

Outputs from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#7,928

of 12,314 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#42,825

of 164,464 outputs

Outputs of similar age from Cochrane database of systematic reviews

#101

of 171 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 22,788,370 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.

So far Altmetric has tracked 12,314 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.4. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% 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 164,464 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 171 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.
