    Critical care syndromes like sepsis and ARDS are biologically heterogeneous, complicating the effectiveness of broad therapeutic approaches.

  • 2

    High-dimensional omics technologies have shifted critical care from syndromic labels to biologic subgroups, revealing distinct host-response pathways.

  • 3

    Pathway-focused biomarkers are proposed as a framework to translate omics discoveries into actionable strategies for precision critical care.

  • 4

    Rapid bedside identification of molecular subgroups is now feasible, but integrating these findings into clinical decision-making remains a challenge.

  • 5

    Pathway-focused biomarkers distill complex molecular signals into interpretable readouts, enhancing the alignment of therapy with underlying biology.
