  1. Scored organs were harvested from CLP-Only mice stratified using the prospective BT-based prediction of outcome and sacrificed on days 1 to 3 post-CLP. P-DIE and P-SUR mice were sacrificed in pairs (n = 11/each group) whenever a P-DIE mouse was identified. N = 7 in control (healthy individuals). A five-level scoring scale was used: 0 = normal, 1 = minor, 2 = medium, 3 = advanced and 4 = very severe injury.
