An increasing number of researchers are using ML algorithms to incorporate demographics, arrest characteristics, clinical variables, biomarkers, physical examination findings, electroencephalograms, imaging, and other factors with predictive value to construct multi-feature prediction models for neurological outcomes of CA survivors.
