Discussion

Retrospective analysis links serum sodium variability and mortality in severe burn patients, suggesting sodium monitoring is critical.

Higher serum sodium variability predicts increased mortality in burn patients, emphasizing monitoring importance.
In a study of 300 adult patients, 11% experienced hyponatremia, while 21.3% developed hypernatremia.
Retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated serum sodium daily for patients with significant burn injuries.
Findings suggest sodium monitoring may improve outcomes and calls for more prospective studies.

Rimaz et al. (2025) studied this question.
