CONSORT flow chart of patient enrollment and selection. The planned study design was to analyze 30 subjects each with uncomplicated sepsis, severe sepsis (sepsis with organ dysfunction), septic shock, sepsis deaths, and SIRS (no infection present). However, limited sample quality or quantity in some cases decreased the number available per group. The analysis population includes 78 sepsis survivors, 28 sepsis non-survivors, and 23 SIRS survivors. Three SIRS non-survivors represented too few subjects to define their own analysis subgroup and were therefore removed prior to analysis.
