    AbstractOlder age has long been associated with altered inflammation and hemostasis regulation. Emerging evidence suggests that age-related differences in inflammation and hemostasis abnormalities may play a role in the development of and long-term outcomes after critical illness. A better understanding of underlying mechanisms may provide new possibilities for therapeutic interventions. In this review, we will examine how age-related differences in inflammatory and coagulation responses are affected through the continuum of healthy state, before infection occurs, to severe sepsis and recovery.
