<p>Methods and compositions disclosed herein generally relate to methods of identifying, validating, and measuring clinically relevant, quantifiable biomarkers of diagnostic and therapeutic responses for blood, vascular, cardiac, and respiratory tract dysfunction, particularly as those responses relate to septic shock in adult patients. In particular, the invention relates to identifying one or more biomarkers associated with septic shock in adult patients, obtaining a sample from an adult patient having at least one indication of septic shock, then quantifying from the sample an amount of one or more of said biomarkers, wherein the level of said biomarker correlates with a predicted outcome. The invention further relates to diagnostic kits, tests, and/or arrays that can be used to quantify the one or more biomarkers associated with septic shock in adult patients.</p> |
