| Abstract |
From 2013 to 2017 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services redacted Medicare claims that included diagnosis or procedure codes related to substance abuse. The redaction policy was in effect as the Affordable Care Act and the opioid epidemic changed the health care landscape. The policy substantially altered prevalence estimates of common chronic conditions that co-occur with substance abuse. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 47. 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 29 January 2019.
All research outputs
#872,021
of 25,018,122 outputs
Outputs from Health Affairs
#1,784
of 6,463 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#19,291
of 336,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health Affairs
#43
of 74 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,018,122 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,463 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 68.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% 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 336,709 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 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 74 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
