To overcome the limitations of earlier mathematical models used to describe sepsis and predict outcomes we designed an empirically based Monte Carlo model that simulates the progression of sepsis in hospitalized patients over a 30-day period. Methods The model simulates changing health over time as represented by the Sepsis-related Organ Failure .
