 European UKB Atrial fibrillation ascertainment was based on self-report of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or cardioversion in an interview with a trained nurse, an ICD-9 code of 427.3 or ICD-10 code of I48.X in hospitalization records, or a history of a percutaneous ablation or cardioversion based on the OPCS-4 coded procedure (K57.1, K62.1, K62.2, K62.3, or K 62.4), as performed previously — — — UKB Phase 1

Performance Metrics

Disclaimer: The performance metrics are displayed as reported by the source studies. It is important to note that metrics are not necessarily comparable with each other. For example, metrics depend on the sample characteristics (described by the PGS Catalog Sample Set [PSS] ID), phenotyping, and statistical modelling. Please refer to the source publication for additional guidance on performance.
