Introduction In the era of scientific digitalization, online media platforms gain increasing popularity to accomplish research output awareness. The Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) weights these online mentions based on a privy algorithm. We aimed to characterize the top 100 articles with the highest (AAS) published in pediatric surgery journals. Materials and Methods Publications from the six core pediatric surgery journals were retrieved from www.altmetric.com in January 2023 and ranked by their AAS. The top 101 publications were analyzed for their bibliometric measures, study design, and quality as well as online media mentions. Results The top 101 AAS articles were published between 1974 and 2022, preferentially from the United States (64%) and mainly in J Pediatr Surg (73%), followed by J Pediatr Surg Case Rep, Pediatr Surg Int, Semin Pediatr Surg, and Eur J Pediatr Surg. Their AAS ranged between 21 and 389 (median 33) with Twitter/X being mostly responsible for online mentions (n=2,189; 75%). The number of citations in peer reviewed journals ranged between 0 and 358 (median 16) and did not correlate to AAS. Retrospective study design (33%) with low evidence level IV (43%) dominated. Conclusion The Journal of Pediatric Surgery is the main source of high-profile AAS publications in pediatric surgery. The altmetric popularity of articles is predominantly achieved by their propagation via X, irrespective of the study quality and recognition in the scientific community. Thus, active “twitterism” may play the key role to reach high AAS scores.

“…[2] Both conditions are congenital defects often associated with other congenital abnormalities. [2] Newborns with human tails require investigation for possible neurological involvement [3], with spinal dysraphism (49%), lipoma (27%), and tethered spinal cord (20%) being common associated anomalies. Other related abnormalities include congenital heart disease, cleft palate, clubfoot, syndactyly, hemangioma, and omphalocele.…”
