Observational Study
Hyponatremia is a Prognostic Factor in Patients Receiving Nutrition Support.
Hyponatremia, the most common electrolyte disorder, has been reported to be related to increased mortality. However, the association between hyponatremia and prognoses remains unclear in patients with nutrition support team (NST) intervention. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of abnormal serum sodium levels, its relation to patient data, and the impact of hyponatremia on prognosis. ⋯ Hyponatremia in NST intervention patients is an independent prognostic predictor. Therefore, adding an assessment of serum sodium at the beginning of NST intervention can identify patients at high risk at an early stage and may improve the quality of NST activity.
