Association of Hyponatremia and Risk of Short- and Long-Term Mortality in Patients with Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder in the clinic practice and it is closely related to the prognosis of various diseases. Studies reported that hyponatremia increased the risk of stroke mortality while yielded inconsistent findings during the follow-up period. Thus, a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the relationship between hyponatremia and the short-term (within 90 days) and long-term (more than 1 year) prognosis of stroke patients was conducted.
