Brief summary
We analyzed the association of delta sodium levels with their effect on post liver transplant outcomes in consecutive patients undergoing liver transplantation. Records were analyzed for electrolytes and outcome measures, and data was analyzed.
Detailed description
Preoperative hyponatremia was identified in patients. The mean change in sodium in hyponatremic patients was compared with inpatients with normal sodium levels. The impact of the delta sodium levels with short-term outcomes, such as duration of intubation, intensive care unit length of stay were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.
