NRI | 26.9 (12.2–41.6) | <0.001 | 13.9 (2.8–25.0) | 0.014 |
IDI | 7.9 (5.2–10.6) | <0.001 | 2.3 (1.2–3.4) | <0.001 |
AF = atrial fibrillation; ECG = electrocardiogram; IDI = integrated discrimination improvement; NRI = net reclassification improvement; PAC = premature atrial contraction.
At 10-y follow-up, 70 of the 208 AF diagnoses had been made by using study ECGs and 138 by hospital coding.
For comparison of the designated model c-statistic with the Framingham model c-statistic in the same AF diagnosis stratum.
