Title

Prevalence and Correlates of At Admission Hyponatremia in Critically Ill Elderly patients and its impact on clinical course of ICU: Experience from a specialized geriatric facility in North India

Abstract

ABSTRACT Aim: To assess the prevalence of at admission hyponatremia in critically ill elderly patients; and to describe its clinicodemographic correlates and impact on clinical course and outcome. Method: A retrospective record review of 267 non-COVID ICU admissions at a specialized geriatric facility over a period of one year was done. At admission serum sodium levels <135 mEq/L were considered as hyponatremia. Demographic profile and comorbidity profile of the patients was noted. Severity of hyponatremia was assessed as mild (130-134.9 mEq/L), moderate (125-129.9 mEq/L) and severe (<125 mEq/L) respectively. Total duration of ICU stay was noted as clinical course of illness and in-ICU mortality was noted as the final outcome. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.0 software. Chi-square, independent samples t-test and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results: Mean age of patients was 72.65±7.82 years (Range 60-93 years), majority of them were males (56.2%). At admission prevalence of hyponatremia was 36.3% (n=97). Among hyponatremia cases majority (n=50; 51.5%) had mild, followed by moderate (n=31; 32.0%) and severe (n=16; 16.5%) hyponatremia. Mean duration of ICU stay was 8.65±5.51 days (range 1-45 days). There were 10 (3.7%) mortalities. History of cardiovascular disease and higher mean number of comorbidities showed a significant association with at-admission hyponatremia. Mortality rate was significantly higher in hyponatremic (8.2%) as compared to non-hyponatremic cases (1.2%). Severity of hyponatremia showed a significant association with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, number of comorbidities, type of hyponatremia, but did not show a significant association with duration of ICU stay and mortality. Conclusion: Critically ill elderly patients had a high prevalence of at-admission hyponatremia which also tend to affect the outcome.
