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

ABSTRACT:

Background

Innate immune dysregulation may contribute to age-related differences in outcomes among critically ill adults. Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) is an important innate immune marker with prognostic value in sepsis, but age-related differences have not been studied.

Methods

This was a prospective cohort from a large tertiary care hospital enrolling adults from both medical and trauma-surgical intensive care units (ICUs). Plasma sTREM-1 was measured in participants within 24 h of ICU admission. We analyzed associations between age (≤50 and >50 years) and sTREM-1 using linear regression. We then examined associations between sTREM-1 and both 28-day mortality and persistent organ dysfunction (defined as need for dialysis, vasopressors,
