Sepsis incidence and mortality varied considerably by age. Sepsis incidence rates peaked in cancer patients aged 85 years and older, while the lowest rates were observed in cancer patients aged 25–29 years. Case fatality rate increased with age, and similar trends were observed for sepsis-related mortality. The lowest sepsis mortality rate occurred in patients aged 30–34 years.
