Abstract

OBJECTIVE: For the UK Biobank, standardized phenotype codes are associated with patients who have been hospitalized but are missing for many patients who have been treated exclusively in an outpatient setting. We describe a method for phenotype recognition that imputes phenotype codes for all UK Biobank participants.
