Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes of Early Postoperative Dysnatremia After Pediatric Neurosurgery: A Prospective Observational Study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, predictors, and clinical outcomes of dysnatremia in children undergoing elective neurosurgery. The authors found that 18.6% of the 668 patients experienced postoperative dysnatremia, with preoperative dysnatremia, sellar/suprasellar pathologies, and higher blood loss identified as significant risk factors. Dysnatremia was associated with increased rates of seizures, neurological deterioration, and longer ICU and hospital stays, highlighting its impact on patient outcomes.
