RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Both hyponatremia and hypernatremia have been reported to occur more frequently with higher ambient temperatures, although the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Global temperatures are rising due to climate change, which may impact the incidence of dysnatremia worldwide. We aimed to identify, collate and critically appraise studies analyzing the relationship between climate measures (outdoor temperature, humidity) and serum sodium concentrations. DESIGN: Systematic review, reported in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. METHODS: MEDLINE and Embase were searched with relevant key terms. Studies assessing the effect on serum sodium measurement of elevated temperature or humidity versus a comparator were included. RESULTS: Of 1466 potentially relevant studies, 34 met inclusion criteria, originating from 23 countries spanning all inhabited continents. The majority (30 of 34, 88%) reported a significant association between outdoor temperature and dysnatremia, predominantly lower serum sodium with increased ambient temperature. Humidity had a less consistent effect. Individuals aged above 65 years, children, those taking diuretics and antidepressants, those with chronic renal impairment or those undertaking physical exertion had increased vulnerability to heat-associated dysnatremia. The risk of bias was assessed to be high in all but four studies. CONCLUSIONS: Higher ambient temperature is consistently associated with an increased incidence of hyponatremia. We infer that hyponatremia presentations are likely to rise with increasing global temperatures and the frequency of extreme heat events secondary to climate change. Evidence-based public health messages, clinician education and reduction in fossil fuel consumption are necessary to reduce the expected burden on healthcare services worldwide.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of dysnatremia in children with acute gastritis/gastroenteritis varies, and factors associated with either dysnatremia or hyponatremia at presentation have not been identified clearly. METHODS: This retrospective study included patients aged 1 month to 18 years hospitalized for community-acquired acute gastritis/gastroenteritis from January to October 2016. Factors associated with dysnatremia at presentation were identified using multivariable analysis. RESULTS: Among the 304 children included, the median age was 2.2 (1.0, 4.2) years. The incidence of dysnatremia at presentation was 17.1% (hyponatremia 15.8%; hypernatremia 1.3%). Patients who had moderate (p = 0.03) and severe dehydration (p = 0.04) and presented with vomiting and diarrhea simultaneously (p = 0.03) were associated with dysnatremia at presentation. Patients presented with vomiting and diarrhea simultaneously was associated with hyponatremia at presentation (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Dysnatremia was common in children with acute gastritis/gastroenteritis. Moderate to severe dehydration and the presence of vomiting and diarrhea simultanously were significantly associated with dysnatremia at presentation. Furthermore, presenting with vomiting and diarrhea silmutaneously was associated with hyponatremia at presentation. Serum electrolytes should be monitored in patients with those conditions.

BACKGROUND/AIM: The current study was designed to evaluate the etiologies of hypernatremic episodes in patients with severe burn injuries in comparison to critically ill non-burn patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The retrospective data acquisition was limited to the first 14 days and to patients with at least 20% total body surface area (TBSA) 2nd degree burn injuries or more than 10% TBSA when including areas of 3rd degree burn injuries. The results were compared to the results of a previously published study that analyzed the risk factors for hypernatremia in 390 non-burn intensive care unit patients. RESULTS: In total, 120 patients with a total of 50 hypernatremic episodes were included. Compared to non-burn injury patients, no significant differences were detectable except for a lower rate of hypokalemia and a higher rate of mechanical ventilation. The main trigger for hypernatremic episodes was the loss of free water, while 24% of the hypernatremic episodes seemed to be at least partly triggered by a surplus sodium influx. Patients with hypernatremic episodes had a significantly higher mortality rate. However, in none of the cases was hypernatremia the decisive cause of death. CONCLUSION: Besides the unique phenomenon of high volume internal and external volume shifts, the overall risk factors and etiologies of hypernatremia in patients with severe burn injury do not seem to significantly differ from other ICU patient collectives. Remarkably, a surplus of sodium influx and therefore a modifiable factor besides the specific burn injury volume resuscitation had an impact on the hypernatremic episodes in 24% of cases.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Hypernatremia is a treatable biochemical disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. However, its impact on patients who undergo elective craniotomy is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic implications of postoperative hypernatremia on the 30-day mortality of patients undergoing elective craniotomy. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: The Department of Neurosurgery of a high-volume center. PATIENTS: Adult patients undergoing elective craniotomy except those with pituitary tumors, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS: Perioperative laboratory data were collected for all study participants, including sodium levels, neutrophil count, serum albumin, lymphocyte count, and blood glucose. These measurements were obtained as part of routine clinical care and provided valuable information for data analysis. MAIN RESULTS: Of the 10,223 identified elective craniotomy patients who met our inclusion and exclusion criteria, 14.9% (1519) developed postoperative hypernatremia. This population's overall postoperative 30-day mortality rate was 1.7% (175). After performing an adjusted logistic regression analysis, we found that the odds of 30-day mortality increased gradually with increasing severity of hypernatremia: 2.9 deaths (OR, 3.79; 95% CI, 2.46-5.85) in patients with mild hypernatremia, 13.9 deaths (OR, 17.73; 95% CI, 11.17-28.12) in those with moderate hypernatremia, and 38.3 deaths (OR, 67.00; 95% CI, 40.44-111.00) in those with severe hypernatremia. CONCLUSIONS: Hypernatremia is common after elective craniotomy, and its presence is associated with increased mortality and complications, particularly in cases of severe hypernatremia. These results emphasize the significance of risk evaluation in neurosurgical patients and propose the advantages of closely monitoring serum sodium levels in high-risk individuals. Future randomized controlled trials could provide more insight into the effect of treating postoperative hypernatremia in these patients.

Introduction: Hypernatremic dehydration in neonates is an uncommon but serious reason for re-hospitalization, especially in exclusively breastfed neonates. The aim was to study the incidence, associated maternal and neonatal characteristics and risk factors, and presenting features of neonatal hypernatremic dehydration (NHD). Methods: A prospective study design was employed to enroll full-term newborns admitted with serum sodium concentrations of ≥145 mEq/L from April 2022 to March 2023 at a tertiary care rural hospital. Maternal and neonatal characteristics and breastfeeding practices of these mother-baby pairs were recorded and observed. Healthy control for every mother-baby pair was taken. Ethical clearance and informed consent were obtained from mothers. Result: 34 newborns out of total 672 NICU admissions were admitted due to NHD, with an incidence of 4.7%. Primiparous mothers were 23 (67.6%) in the cases and 10 (29.4%) in the control group (p = 0.0017). Disparity in maternal breastfeeding practices of cases, such as delayed initiation time 2.3 h vs. 1.27 h (p < 0.0001), less frequency of breastfeeding 6.5 times vs. 9.3 times (p < 0.0001), and duration of breastfeeding sessions 23.3 min vs. 32 min (p = 0.0014) respectively in cases and controls were found to be potential contributing factors. 61.7% of mothers had breast issues in the cases and 17.6% in the control group (p = 0.0002) with average LATCH score of 4.29 in cases as compared to 8.08 in controls (p < 0.0001) at time of baby's admission to NICU. The average neonatal age at presentation was six days and average weight loss was 11.4% in cases vs. 2.8% in controls (p < 0.0001). The main presenting features were excessive weight loss 30 (88.2%), lethargy 20 (58.8%), jaundice 18 (52.9%) and fever 14 (41.1%). Conclusion: Neonatal hypernatremic dehydration (NHD) poses a significant clinical challenge, particularly in full-term, exclusively breastfed healthy neonates. We found an incidence of 4.7%. Delayed initiation of breastfeeding, inadequate breastfeeding techniques, and maternal breast-related issues were significant contributors to NHD. Primiparous mothers were found to be at higher risk, emphasizing the need for targeted breastfeeding education and support for primiparous mothers. The study reaffirmed the critical role of frequent and effective duration of breastfeeding and daily weight monitoring for preventing NHD.

BACKGROUND: Neonatal hypernatremic dehydration (NHD) is a severe condition associated with neonatal morbidity and mortality. PURPOSE: The present study evaluated maternal risk factors, including duration of maternal hospitalisation, primiparity, caesarean section, and pregnancy complications, as well as social factors, such as depression, fatigue, and inadequate support for NHD. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Cochrane Library, International Scientific Indexing, Scopus, and Google Scholar were the databases searched until 2023. STUDY SELECTION: Articles written in English or Persian focusing on the relationship between maternal risk factors and NHD among neonates and providing sufficient information on NHD were included in this study. On the other hand, articles whose abstracts were only available were excluded. DATA EXTRACTION: The extracted data were presented in Excel software with the following titles: authors' names, year, type of study, study location, and maternal risk factors. The methodological quality of the articles was determined using the quality assurance tool for the diagnostic accuracy score (QUADAS). RESULTS: Of the 58 searched articles, 16 were investigated, which included five prospective, seven cross-sectional, and four retrospective articles. Maternal risk factors for NHD included labour and delivery complications, childbirth complications, factors causing insufficient breast milk intake (including breast milk insufficiency, nipple problems, wrong breastfeeding techniques, breast disorders, types of feeding, and breastfeeding training/counselling in pregnancy), as well as delivery and the postpartum period. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE AND RESEARCH: Maternal problems in pregnancy and delivery, breast disorders, breastfeeding status, maternal knowledge, and lactation skills are the most common maternal risk factors for NHD. Timely (antenatal) identification and proper management of maternal risk factors help reduce the incidence and severity of NHD complications.

BACKGROUND: Craniopharyngiomas are low-grade malignancies (WHO I) in the sellar region. Most cases of childhood-onset craniopharyngioma are adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma, and neurosurgery is the treatment of choice. Affected patients have postoperative complications, including water and electrolyte disturbances, because these malignancies develop near the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Determining postoperative serum sodium fluctuation patterns in these patients can reduce postoperative mortality and improve prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To measure changes in serum sodium levels in pediatric patients who underwent craniopharyngioma surgery and identify influencing factors. METHODS: This retrospective study measured the serum sodium levels of 202 patients aged 0-18 years who underwent craniopharyngioma resection in Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Beijing Children's Hospital and identified predictors of severe hyponatremia and hypernatremia. RESULTS: The mean age of the cohort was 8.35 ± 4.35 years. The prevalence of hypernatremia, hyponatremia, and their severe forms (serum Na+ > 150 mmol/L and serum Na+ < 130 mmol/L) within 14 days after surgery was 66.3%, 72.8%, 37.1%, and 40.6%, respectively. The mean postoperative serum sodium level showed a triphasic pattern, characterized by two peaks separated by a nadir. Sodium levels peaked on days 2 (143.6 ± 7.6 mmol/L) and 14 (143.2 ± 6.7 mmol/L) and reached their lowest on day 6 (135.5 ± 7.5 mmol/L). A total of 31 (15.3%) patients met the diagnostic threshold for hyponatremia and hypernatremia of the triphase response, whereas 116 (57.4%) patients presented this pattern, regardless of met the diagnostic criteria or not. The prevalence of severe hyponatremia varied depending on preoperative endocrine hormone deficiency, tumor status (primary or recurrent), and surgical approach. CONCLUSIONS: Serum sodium levels after craniopharyngioma resection in children showed a triphasic pattern in most cases. The risk of postoperative hyponatremia varied depending on preoperative endocrine hormone deficiency, tumor status (primary or recurrent), and surgical approach.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical indicators in order to examine the intensity of diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) episodes in children and adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS: Data from 156 T1DM patients aged 6 months to 14 years, who presented with DKA to the emergency room, were retrospectively reviewed from 2018 to 2022. Data on demographic characteristics, economic status, initial clinical presentation, glycemic control, DKA severity, and laboratory evaluations were also collected. RESULTS: Diabetes ketoacidosis episodes were more prevalent among male patients during the middle childhood age group. Notably, these episodes displayed seasonal patterns. The severity was found to be inversely associated with economic status and positively correlated with early adolescence. Newly diagnosed T1DM patients constituted 52.9%, with a statistically significant connection observed between severe DKA and this subgroup. Furthermore, there was a significant escalation in poor glycemic control with episode severity. Prolonged episode duration also exhibited a statistically significant association with more severity. Gastrointestinal symptoms were commonly reported during the presentation. Moreover, several clinical signs and symptoms, including decreased consciousness, reduced activity, drowsiness, Kussmaul breathing, shortness of breath, vomiting, tachycardia, and severe dehydration, were significantly correlated with the severity of DKA (p<0.05). Hypernatremia was more frequent among children with severe DKA. CONCLUSION: Diabetes ketoacidosis was observed to occur more frequently among males in middle childhood with seasonal variations. Furthermore, the severity of DKA was associated with lower economic status, early adolescence, and the presence of hypernatremia.

OBJECTIVES: Hypernatremia may facilitate the diffusion of bilirubin through the blood-brain barrier and increase the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy. This study was conducted to compare the prognosis of jaundice infants with those with jaundice and hypernatremia. METHODS: A total of 615 term infants with idiopathic jaundice with or without hypernatremia were enrolled in this cohort study with 24-months follow-up at Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, between 2010 and 2022. An in-house questionnaire including the laboratory evaluation and neonatal characteristics was used as the data collection tool. The follow-up of neonatal development status was performed using the Denver test II at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after discharging from hospital. RESULTS: Normal outcomes were seen in 555 (90.2%) out of 615 studied infants, while 60 cases (9.8%) showed abnormal outcomes. Serum levels of sodium (Pâ=â0.017), bilirubin (Pâ=â0.001), urea (Pâ=â0.024), and creatinine (Pâ=â0.011) as well as hyperthermia (Pâ=â0.046) and unconsciousness (Pâ=â0.005) showed significant differences between the two groups. Approximately 16% of the newborns with both jaundice and hypernatremia, and 9% of those with only jaundice had unfavorable prognoses. Also, bilirubin level had the most predictive power (91.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that hypernatremia or jaundice alone, may affect the prognosis of infants aged 2 years; but jaundice and hypernatremia together, will intensify the developmental problems in jaundice infants. However, the role of hyperbilirubinemia in the incidence of complications is more than hypernatremia.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread rapidly, creating a worrisome scenario worldwide. In hospitalized patients, dysnatremia (hyponatremia and/or hypernatremia) is the most common electrolyte disturbance, reported in 3040% of cases and associated with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between dysnatremia and mortality in hospitalized patients infected with SARS-COV-2. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study that analyzed data from hospital records of 1,000 patients with COVID-19 (median age, 62.5 years; 57.1% men), including 109 (10.9%) deaths. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard models with Hazard Ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were applied to confirm the association between dysnatremia (hyponatremia and/or hypernatremia) and death. Results: Hypernatremia was detected in 83 (76.1%) of the patients who died, with a cumulative reduction in survival (p < 0.01) and a 2.42-fold increased mortality risk (95%CI: 1.452.91). In the multivariable analysis, hypernatremia was the main factor associated with increased mortality (HR: 1.50; 95%CI: 1.231.81). Long length of stay (LOS) (HR: 1.54; 95%CI: 1.211.78), old age (HR: 1.63; 95%CI: 1.281.88), and chronic kidney disease (HR: 1.77; 95%CI: 1.213.30) were also associated with death. Conclusion: Hypernatremia during hospitalization is an important risk factor for poor prognosis and an increased mortality risk. LOS, old age, and chronic kidney disease could also be used for risk stratification in patients with COVID-19.

INTRODUCTION: The hypernatremic neonatal dehydration is a severe condition whose incidence has increased in recent years resulting in complications leading to the hospitalization of the newborn. OBJECTIVE: Describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics of term-newborns with Hypernatremic Dehy dration diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Descriptive observational study of hospitalized term- newborns due to hypernatremic dehydration between a period from 2014 to 2016. Term newborns over 37 weeks with clinical signs of dehydration (dry mucous membranes, depressed fontanel, tear less crying, signs of the cutaneous pleat), and/or excessive weight loss greater than 7% and serum sodium greater than 145 mEq/L were included. Sociodemographic and biochemical variables were recorded for analysis. RESULTS: 43 neonates were included. 60.5 percent of their mothers were pri- miparous, 90 percent of neonates received exclusive breastfeeding, mothers reported breastfeeding problems in 76.7 percent. Incoming neonates reported weight loss compared to birth weight at 15.3% on average. 83.3% had public health insurance. 65.1% had dehydration clinical signs at entry and 83.5% transient neurological signs. The average sodium was 155 mEq/L at revenue. The sodium decrease in the first 24 hours of handling was 7.74 mEq/L (0.32mEq/L per hour). The correction of the hypernatremia was 55.8% by oral intake and 4 days hospital stay on average. CONCLUSIONS: The feeding's problems came up in a (76%), primiparous mothers in an (88.4%). 90.6 percent of this population administered exclusive breastfeeding, results that can help to alert the health professional to timely identification, warning signs, and early post-discharge control and preventive measures.

RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar os fatores clínicos e laboratoriais associados com a variação dos níveis séricos de sódio durante terapia renal substitutiva contínua e avaliar se a fórmula de mixagem perfeita pode prever a variação do sódio nas 24 horas. Métodos: A partir de uma base de dados coletada de forma prospectiva, recuperamos e analisamos os dados referentes a 36 sessões de terapia renal substitutiva realizadas em 33 pacientes, nas quais a prescrição de afluentes permaneceu inalterada durante as primeiras 24 horas. Aplicamos um modelo linear misto para investigar os fatores associados com grandes variações dos níveis séricos de sódio (≥ 8mEq/L) e geramos um gráfico de Bland-Altman para avaliar a concordância entre as variações previstas e observadas. Resultados: Nas sessões de terapia renal substitutiva de 24 horas identificamos que SAPS 3 (p = 0,022) e hipernatremia basal (p = 0,023) foram preditores estatisticamente significantes de variações séricas do sódio ≥ 8mEq/L na análise univariada, porém apenas hipernatremia demonstrou uma associação independente (β = 0,429; p < 0,001). A fórmula de mixagem perfeita para previsão do nível de sódio após 24 horas demonstrou baixa concordância com os valores observados. Conclusões: A presença de hipernatremia por ocasião do início da terapia renal substitutiva é um fator importante associado com variações clinicamente significativas dos níveis séricos de sódio. O uso de citrato 4% ou da fórmula A de ácido citrato dextrose 2,2% como anticoagulantes não se associou com variações mais acentuadas dos níveis séricos de sódio. Não foi viável desenvolver uma predição matemática da concentração do sódio após 24 horas.
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and laboratorial factors associated with serum sodium variation during continuous renal replacement therapy and to assess whether the perfect admixture formula could predict 24-hour sodium variation. Methods: Thirty-six continuous renal replacement therapy sessions of 33 patients, in which the affluent prescription was unchanged during the first 24 hours, were retrieved from a prospective collected database and then analyzed. A mixed linear model was performed to investigate the factors associated with large serum sodium variations (≥ 8mEq/L), and a Bland-Altman plot was generated to assess the agreement between the predicted and observed variations. Results: In continuous renal replacement therapy 24-hour sessions, SAPS 3 (p = 0.022) and baseline hypernatremia (p = 0.023) were statistically significant predictors of serum sodium variations ≥ 8mEq/L in univariate analysis, but only hypernatremia demonstrated an independent association (β = 0.429, p < 0.001). The perfect admixture formula for sodium prediction at 24 hours demonstrated poor agreement with the observed values. Conclusions: Hypernatremia at the time of continuous renal replacement therapy initiation is an important factor associated with clinically significant serum sodium variation. The use of 4% citrate or acid citrate dextrose - formula A 2.2% as anticoagulants was not associated with higher serum sodium variations. A mathematical prediction for the serum sodium concentration after 24 hours was not feasible.

Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil dos doadores efetivos de órgãos e tecidos além de conhecer quais órgãos e tecidos foram doados para transplantes. Métodos: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo, exploratório e retrospectivo, analisando-se os dados de prontuários de 305 doadores, entre janeiro de 2006 a dezembro de 2010, os quais foram submetidos à análise descritiva com confecção de tabelas de frequência, medidas de posição (média, mínimo e máximo) e dispersão (desvio-padrão) para os dados de caráter social e clínico. Resultados: Houve predomínio de indivíduos brancos (72%), do gênero masculino (55%), idade entre 41 e 60 anos (44%), sendo a principal causa de morte encefálica o acidente vascular encefálico (55%). Quanto aos antecedentes, 31% foram classificados na categoria de sobrepeso, seguidos de hipertensão arterial sistêmica (27%) e o diabetes mellitus encontrado em apenas 4,3% dos doadores. O uso de drogas vasoativas esteve presente em 92,7% dos doadores, e a principal droga utilizada foi a noradrenalina (81,6%). A hiperglicemia e a hipernatremia foram encontradas em 78% e em 71% dos doadores, respectivamente. Conclusão: Foram encontradas importantes alterações hemodinâmicas, e os resultados mostram o uso de drogas vasoativas como a principal estratégia para seu controle. Ademais, a maioria dos doadores apresentou hiperglicemia e hipernatremia, achados frequentes no quadro de morte encefálica, e que, por sua persistência, sugerem manutenção inadequada do doador de órgãos. .
Objective: To characterize the profile of effective organ and tissue donors and to understand which organs and tissues were donated for transplantation. Methods: This was a quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, retrospective study that analyzed clinical data from 305 donors between January 2006 to December 2010. The data were then analyzed using descriptive analyses, generating frequency tables, measures of position (mean, minimum and maximum) and measures of dispersion (standard deviation) for data that was social and clinical in nature. Results: There was an overall predominance of white (72%) and male (55%) individuals between the ages of 41 and 60 years (44%). The primary cause of brain death was cerebrovascular accident (55%). In the patient history, 31% of the patients were classified as overweight, 27% as hypertensive and only 4.3% as having diabetes mellitus. Vasoactive drugs were used in 92.7% of the donors, and the main drug of choice was noradrenaline (81.6%). Hyperglycemia and hypernatremia were diagnosed in 78% and 71% of the donors, respectively. Conclusion: Significant hemodynamic changes were found, and the results indicate that the use of vasoactive drugs was the main strategy used to control these changes. Furthermore, most donors presented with hyperglycemia and hypernatremia, which were frequently reported in association with brain death. The persistent nature of these findings suggests that the organ donors were inadequately maintained. .

La lactancia materna constituye la forma de alimentación más adecuada en los primeros meses de la vida de un niño. Debemos fomentar esta forma de alimentación mediante la información adecuada a cada madre, así como también detectar problemas tanto en la técnica como en el volumen y componentes de la leche materna. Cuando esto no se cumple se puede afectar de diversas maneras al recién nacido alimentado exclusivamente a pecho. Existen reportes en la literatura de recién nacidos que padecieron deshidratación hipernatrémica (DHH), con el detalle de sus severos cursos clínicos, que requirieron un gran esfuerzo terapéutico y en muchos de ellos el padecimiento de importantes secuelas. El hallazgo de dos casos de DHH, en recién nacidos de término de peso adecuado, en los que se observó una concentración elevada de Na en la leche de sus madres, motivó esta publicación. Con el motivo de comparar con la literatura los valores de sodio en leche de madres y comprobar que los obtenidos en los casos detallados fueron realmente elevados se realizó en 28 muestras de leche de transición de madres que concurrieron a los consultorios externos de nuestra maternidad. Resultados: media: 19,41 mEq/l, error standard: 1,04 mEq/l, mediana: 19 mEq/l. CV: 28.3 por ciento. Valor máximo obtenido: 36 mEq/l, valor mínimo hallado: 13 mEq/l. Los valores hallados de Na en la leche de las madres de los casos informados se encontrarían elevados para los encontrados en la bibliografía (13 ñ 3mEq/l) y para los de nuestra población (p<0,001).
