  1. The values in parentheses give the percentage. The development set was available to competition teams for algorithm development, and the tuning set for limited algorithm evaluation during the competition. All validation sets were fully independent and blinded to the algorithm developers. Additional details on reference standard protocol can be found in Supplementary Methods 2 and 3.
