From: Uptake of atrial fibrillation screening aiming at stroke prevention: geo-mapping of target population and non-participation

Figure 5

Geo-map on participation in pilot screening study for AF, conducted in the municipality of Halmstad, Sweden; divided into 12 parishes (total study group, 848 participants and 367 non-participants). For each parish, a smoothed non-participation ratio (SmNPR) was calculated (range: 0.81 – 1.24; SmNRP = 1 corresponds to the expected participation based on the total study group). A corresponding statistical certainty map based on the calculated posterior probabilities of a parish-specific NPR above 1 given the data [Pr(NPR>1|data)] is also shown [light red color, Pr(NPR>1|data) > 0.90, i.e. a parish with data yielding moderate statistical evidence of lower participation].
