Two hundred and thirty-eight septic patients older than 60 years old admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) were enrolled in the study,and were followed up by telephone interview one year after ICU discharge. The hospital mortality and cumulative one-year mortality were analyzed,single and multiple factors analysis were used to for the risk factors of 1-year mortality. Quality of life (QoL) was evaluated by the Euro QoL-5 Dimensions (EQ5D) questionnaire,and the influential factors of long-term QoL were also analyzed. A total of 238 patients were enrolled,58 patients of them(24.4%) died during hospitalization and one-year accumulative mortality was 59.7% (142 cases). Single factor analysis showed that acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE Ⅱ),continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT),fungal infection,sepsis,tracheal extubation and use of vasopressor within 24 h,the le
