Abstract

Hyponatremia, defined as serum sodium <135, has been associated with increased mortality in surgical orthopedic patients [1]. This article describes an investigation done at Penn State Hershey Medical Center over one year with 1067 surgical orthopedic patients. The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence, timing, causes and outcomes of hyponatremia in this population.
