Hyperkalemia and Pneumonia: A Retrospective Study on Mortality Outcomes in Southwest Missouri
Our study revealed that patients admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and hyperkalemia had a statistically significant increase in mortality in comparison to patients with pneumonia or hyperkalemia independently. Recognizing this association may help identify prognosis and thus guide the management of patients admitted to the hospital with both hyperkalemia and pneumonia.
