1. A method for assigning a therapy regimen and/or assigning a prognosis to a subject diagnosed with or suspected of suffering from SIRS, sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, or MODS, comprising:
- performing an assay method on a sample obtained from said subject, wherein said assay method provides one or more detectable signals related to the presence or amount of one or more subject-derived markers independently selected from the group consisting of markers related to blood pressure regulation, markers related to inflammation, markers related to apoptosis, and markers related to coagulation and hemostasis, or markers related to said subject-derived markers, optionally further comprising one or more detectable signals related to the presence or amount of one or more subject-derived markers of tissue injury; and
correlating the signal(s) obtained from said assay method to ruling in or out a therapy regimen for said subject and/or assigning a prognosis to said subject.
