Summary

This study collects blood, urine, spinal fluid, and tissue samples from up to 5,000 seriously injured or ill patients and healthy volunteers. Researchers will use these samples to develop and improve tests that help doctors decide the best treatment plans. The goal is to enhance care for both military personnel and civilians in critical care settings.
