Abstract:In this study, we report the prevalence and aetiology of hyponatraemia after surgery for hip fracture. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 144 consecutive patients who underwent surgery after sustaining a hip fracture. Data were collected from medical case records, operative notes and electrolyte results. Univariate and logistic regression analysis was conducted in order to identify significant independent risk factors for the development of hyponatraemia. Mild hyponatraemia was relatively common affectin… Show more
