Inflammation and Coagulation during Critical Illness and Long-Term Cognitive Impairment and Disability.

CONCLUSIONS Markers of systemic inflammation and coagulation measured early during critical illness are not associated with long-term cognitive outcomes and demonstrate inconsistent associations with disability outcomes. Future studies that pair longitudinal measurement of inflammation and related pathways throughout the course of critical illness and during recovery with long-term outcomes are needed.
