Relationship between sodium level and in-hospital mortality in traumatic brain injury patients of MIMIC IV database

ConclusionThe study reveals an L-shaped relationship between sodium levels and in-hospital deaths, with a pivotal point at 144.1 mmol/L. TBI patients displaying hypernatremia were independently linked to higher in-hospital mortality, underlining the need for further studies into targeted management of sodium levels in these patients.
