However, association analysis shows correlation with clinical risk factors (e.g. smoking, age, prevalent hypertension) and traditional radiologic findings (e.g. nodules, fibrosis, emphysema) suggesting that the model identifies anatomical changes known to be correlated with increased risk. Second, the...
Based on the ICD-10 definitions, ILD-only was defined by code J84 for other ILD, excluding drug-induced ILD, interstitial emphysema, and lung diseases caused by external agents.

Phecodes are defined using only linked hospital data (https://phewascatalog.org/phecodes_icd10). Formula phenotypes combine available data using bespoke R code per phenotype rather than the in-built functions of phenotype development available in Deep-PheWAS. Added phenotypes are lists of cases ...
