This study examines the impact of different rates of sodium correction on the outcomes of patients with severe hyponatremia (serum sodium ≤ 120 mEq/L). Hyponatremia is a condition where blood sodium levels are dangerously low, and its treatment must be carefully managed to avoid complications. Standard guidelines recommend correcting sodium levels slowly to prevent a rare but serious neurological condition called osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). However, recent evidence suggests that a faster rate of sodium correction may reduce hospital stay length and mortality without increasing the risk of ODS.
This retrospective study, conducted from 2010 to 2023 at a hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It compares the outcomes of patients who had their sodium levels corrected rapidly (≥ 8 mEq/L in 24 hours) to those who had slower corrections. The primary outcomes measured are mortality and the development of ODS.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rapid group correction | Patients whose serum sodium increased by ≥ 8 mEq/L within the first 24 hours. |

| Rapid sodium correction | Other | This study focuses on the exposure to different sodium correction rates in patients with severe hyponatremia (serum sodium ≤ 120 mEq/L) rather than an active intervention. The two key groups are defined by their rate of sodium correction during the first 24 hours of hospitalization: Rapid Sodium Correction: An increase in serum sodium of ≥ 8 mEq/L within 24 hours. Slow Sodium Correction: An increase in serum sodium of < 8 mEq/L within 24 hours. The primary objective is to assess the association between these exposure rates and clinical outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, 30-day mortality, and the incidence of osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS). This study differs from others by using a large, retrospective cohort of patients treated in a real-world clinical setting, spanning 13 years (2010-2023), and applying robust statistical adjustments such as propensity score analysis to control for confounders. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| In-Hospital Mortality | In-Hospital Mortality refers to the occurrence of death from any cause during a patients hospital stay. In the context of this study, it specifically measures the rate at which patients with severe hyponatremia (serum sodium ≤ 120 mEq/L) die before being discharged from the hospital. | From hospital admission to discharge or death. To evalute in-Hospital mortality we will use logistic regression, not time to event analysis. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 30-Day Mortality | 30-Day Mortality refers to the occurrence of death from any cause within 30 days following a patient's admission to the hospital. In this study, it measures the mortality rate of patients with severe hyponatremia (serum sodium ≤ 120 mEq/L) within 30 days after hospitalization, regardless of whether they were discharged or remained in the hospital. | From the date of hospital admission up to 30 days. From hospital admission to discharge or death. To evalute 30-Day mortality we will use logistic regression, not time to event analysis. |

The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years or older who were admitted to Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires between 2010 and 2023 with severe hyponatremia, defined as a serum sodium (natremia) level of ≤ 120 mEq/L at the time of admission. The study focuses on patients experiencing their first hospitalization for this condition, with a hospital stay exceeding 24 hours to ensure sufficient follow-up for sodium correction. Patients with prior hospitalizations for severe hyponatremia or incomplete follow-up data were excluded to ensure accurate analysis of treatment outcomes.

| Length of stay | Length of Stay (LOS) refers to the duration of a patient's hospitalization, measured from the date of admission to the date of discharge. In this study, it evaluates how long patients with severe hyponatremia (serum sodium ≤ 120 mEq/L) remain in the hospital and assesses whether the rate of sodium correction (rapid vs. slow) influences their hospital stay. | From the date of hospital admission to the date of discharge |
| Incidence of Osmotic Demyelinitation Syndrome (ODS) | Incidence of Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (ODS) refers to the number of new cases of ODS that occur in patients during or after the correction of severe hyponatremia (serum sodium ≤ 120 mEq/L). | From the date of hospital admission through hospital discharge, up to 180 days. |
