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.

PSS001052 The diagnosis of dementia at each examination was based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Third Edition‐Revised (DSM‐III‐R) criteria, using information from neuropsychiatric examinations and close informant interviews. Dementia diagnoses for individuals lost to follow‐up were based on information obtained from the Swedish Inpatient Registry until 2012. Age of dementia onset was based on information provided by close informants, the examinations, and the Swedish Inpatient Register. If no information could be obtained from these sources, the age of onset was determined as the mid‐point between the last examination at which dementia criteria were not fulfilled and the first with a dementia diagnosis. Information on deaths during follow‐up was obtained from the Swedish Population Registry until December 31, 2016. Of the 605 dementia cases, 182 were carriers of an APOE ɛ4 allele. Mean = 7.2 years
Sd = 4.7 years
