Claim:
A method of determining presence or risk of cerebral injury in a human subject, the method comprising: obtaining a test sample from a human subject; analyzing the obtained test sample for presence or amount or both presence and amount of (1) cellular fibronectin and (2) one or more additional markers both proteomic and non-proteomic for, or mass spectrometry peak levels from, any of categories of apoptosis, cellular adhesion, cellular injury, coagulation, glial activation, inflammatory mediation, myelin breakdown, thrombosis, and vascular damage; and then correlating (1) the presence or amount of said cellular fibronectin and said one or more additional markers or peak levels, with (2) clinical patient information, other than the cellular fibronectin and said one or more makers or peak levels for cerebral injury, in order to deduce a probability of present or future risk or present and future risk of a cerebral injury for the subject; and then providing the deduced probability to a clinician who treats the cerebral injury in the human subject in accordance with the deduced probability.
