  1. ROS reactive oxygen species, ASD autism spectrum disorder, ·OH hydroxyl radical, RO· alkoxyl radical, O2·− superoxide, 1O2 singlet oxygen, OR odds ratio, Sens sensitivity, Spec specificity, LR+ positive likelihood ratio, CC percentage of correct classification, AUC area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
  2. aIncomputable because the specificity is 1.0
  3. bNot significant.
