Note. SDNN = standard deviation of all N-N intervals; pNN50 = successive percentage of differences in R-R intervals greater than 50 ms; InRMSSD = logarithm of the difference of the quadratic mean of the successive normal R-R intervals; LFnu = corrected low frequency spectral component; HFnu = corrected high frequency spectral component; LF/HF = ratio between LF and HF; IPS = International Point Score; ES = effect size
