Comparison of characteristics between the CUNV population and mapping controls. Methods of mapping and data analysis were identical.

Characteristic CUNV cohort Control cohort
No. of patients 9 9
Median age, y (range) 50 (22–59)* 57 (25–74)*
Sex (female:male) 8:1 5:4
No. of recordings 18 11
Duration of mapping (mean ± SD) 11 ± 5 min/pt 10 ± 3 min/pt
Anesthetic regimen Prophylactic antibiotics, benzodiazepine premedication, a short-acting intravenous opiate, muscle relaxants (suxamethonium or rocuronium), propofol, desflurane Prophylactic antibiotics, benzodiazepine premedication, a short-acting intravenous opiate, muscle relaxant (atracurium or suxamethonium), propofol, isoflurane, or sevoflurane. Eight also had epidural or spinal block.
Electrodes (type; tip diameter; no. of channels) PCB24; 0.3 mm; 256 channels PCB24; 0.3 mm; 96–256 channels
Filtering methods Savitzky-Golay (1.7s window; polynomial order 9) and moving median (20s window) filters28
Analysis and isochronal activation mapping methods FEVT, REGROUPS, and SIV algorithms performed in GEMS v1.5 with subsequent manual review27,29,30
Frequency, velocity, and amplitude calculation methods Algorithms in GEMS v1.527
