Initial serum electrolyte imbalances and mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury: a retrospective study
Electrolyte imbalance is common in TBI patients, with the significant prevalence of hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and hypokalemia. However, hypernatremia and hyperkalemia were associated with the risk of mortality, emphasizing the need for further research to comprehend electrolyte dynamics in TBI patients.
