Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Men and women = 70 years of age with serum sodium of 130 mmol/l or below at time of admission to hospital.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Absent informed consent 2. Treatment in intensive care unit. Specific handicaps that might limit a patient’s capability to perform one or more single tests (e.g. amputation in physical testing) do not lead to general exclusion.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Test at admission to hospital: 1. Barthel Katz Index (evaluation of activity of daily living) 2. Mini Mental State Test (Check on cognitive impairment, 30 questions) 3. DemTec (identify patients with cognitive impairment, dementia) 4. Clock Test (screening tool for perceptual disorders and cognitive impairment) 5. Geriatrische Depressions-Skala (15 questions regarding activity, mood, memory and humour) 6. Tinetti Test (check for individual impairments of mobility, balance and physical stability) 7. TUG (timed up-and-go Test) (check for basic mobility and walking speed) 8. Esslinger Transfer Scale (check for the grade of assistance they need in transferring from bed to chair and upright standing) 9. Handgrip Test (screen for malnutrition and sarcopenia) 10. Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) (identifying malnourished elderly patients) Follow-up after 14 or 21 days.	—
