Relationships Between Age, Soluble Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 (sTREM-1), and Mortality Among Critically Ill Adults: A Cohort Study

Conclusions: sTREM-1 was elevated among critically ill older adults, and strongly associated with both death and persistent organ dysfunction. Immune responses associated with sTREM-1 may contribute to age-related differences in ICU outcomes, warranting further study as a potential therapeutic target in older adults.
