To explore the relationship between hypomagnesemia and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients.
Single-center, prospective observational study in an ICU department.
Included patients aged 18–80 years admitted with severe illness from July to December 2024.
Serum magnesium levels and other metrics were measured within 24 hours of admission.
39.5% of critically ill patients had hypomagnesemia among 81 patients evaluated.
Higher mortality of 34.37% was observed in patients with hypomagnesemia, primarily due to sepsis.
Longer ICU stay correlated with hypomagnesemia and higher APACHE II and SOFA scores.
