A method and system (30, 50) for predicting the immediate success of a defibrillatory shock during cardiac arrest are shown. The sequencing of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is determined by an electronic computer (80) based on the probability of success as determined by a comparison of the amplitude spectrum area or the power spectrum area of an electrocardiogram sample and to empirical data. When the probability of successful resuscitation is 80% or greater, immediate defibrillation is implemented. When the probability of success is 20% or less, advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation is implemented. When the probability of success remains greater than 20% but less than 80% for a period of four minutes, the patient is also defibrillated.

Prediction markets are used to determine the probability of an experimental therapeutic, diagnostic, or prophylactic candidate meeting clinical trial and post-trial goals, such as clinical trial endpoints and timelines. The prediction market processes buy and sell orders from market participants, while adjusting the prices of the securities according to the orders. The securities have specific meanings which correspond to goals in clinical trials or other outcomes in clinical candidate development. The price of a security determined by the market corresponds to the probability of the corresponding goal or outcome. The participants are selected for their expert knowledge of specific factors related to candidate development. Using appropriately selected securities and participants, the prediction market may be used to generate probabilities of success useful for long-range planning and valuation, determining production timelines and volumes, management of candidates in a development portfolio, and clinical management of patients by physicians.
