Abstract:Na fell in 34/60 patients (57%) and was less likely if baseline hyponatraemia existed (38% VS 74% p = 0.004). A fall of ≥5mmol/l occurred in 23%.Median time to nadir Na was 3 days and time to recovery to pre-treatment Na was 6.5 days. No complications of hyponatremia were observed.Patients with VB were more likely (vs HRS patients) to have any fall in Na or a ≥5mmol/l reduction (68% vs 47% p = 0.1 and 32% vs 16% p = 0.12 respectively) but failed to reach significance.Mortality was 22% overall and a fall in Na … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
