1. A method of assisting decisions associated with events relative to withdrawal of life sustaining therapy (WLST), the method comprising:

  • obtaining at least one measure of variability from one or more organ systems, each measure of variability comprising a computation of variability for a plurality of time intervals for a respective patient parameter, each measure of variability being indicative of a degree and character to which the respective patient parameter changes over an interval of time to enable changes in variability of the respective patient parameter to be observed over a period of time;

    using the at least one measure of variability to generate a statistical model associated with an event relative to the WLST; and

    providing a clinical decision support indicator based on the event.
