Univariate predictive accuracy averaged for training (group 1, retrospective) and validation (group 2, prospective). OR represent univariate odds ratios for non-FNP.

AMSA: amplitude spectrum area. PSD: power spectral density. ROSC: return of spontaneous circulation. Other abbreviations as in Table 1.
