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.

PSS001082 Cases were individuals who had experienced an ischemic stroke (IS) event. IS was defined according to the World Health Organization definition and included imaging by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging in the majority of cases. All cases of IS were further divided into subtypes of large vessel (n=49), small vessel (n=43), cardioembolic (n=36), and undetermined. Undetermined strokes had undetermined causes, multiple causes identified, or an incomplete evaluation made. All stroke events were assessed by an adjudication committee, blinded to the identity of participants and study treatment group assignment. Median = 4.7 years

The authors also subtyped ischaemic stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, or subarachnoid haemorrhage. UKB Participants with genetic data were excluded from the analysis based on the following criteria: failing genetic quality control (missingness > 5%, sex mismatch, excessive heterozygosity), having a history of stroke or myocardial infarction (MI), self-report of stroke or MI, missing lifestyle information.
