a

For the non-transformed variables the odds ratio represents the change in odds for a one-standard deviation increase in the HRV variable. For the transformed variables the odds ratio represents the change in odds for a one-standard deviation increase in the log HRV variable.

b

HRV variable was standardised prior to conducting the logistic regression.

c

HRV variable was log transformed (log base 10) and then standardised prior to conducting the logistic regression.

The multivariable model is: log (p/(1 − p)) = 0.49 + 1.00 (standardized Mean NN) + 0.37 (standardised log 10 HF power) + 0.40 (standardised log 10 LF HF ratio) −0.50 (standardised log 10 TINN) − 0.51 (standardised MSE c index) −1.16 (standardised MSE slope short) p = 0.480 for Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit.

HRV, Heart Rate Variability; NN interval, normalised RR interval; HF power, high frequency power (0.15–0.4 Hz), LF/HF ratio, low frequency/high frequency ratio; TINN, triangular interpolation of the NN interval histogram; MSE, multiscale entropy.
