Association Between Rate of Hypernatremia Correction and Mortality: A Retrospective Cohort Study Across a Regional Health System
These findings add to the growing evidence challenging traditional concerns about rapid correction of hypernatremia in adults, suggesting that rapid correction rates exceeding 8 mmol/L/day do not increase mortality or cause adverse neurological events. These results support reconsidering rigid correction limits and highlight the need for further research on individualized treatment strategies.
