Rising mortality from electrolyte and acid–base imbalances in the United States (1999–2020): a joinpoint regression analysis of national trends and disparities
There is a prominent increase in EABI-linked mortality from 1999 to 2020, with significant disparities in various population groups. These findings warrant the instantaneous implementation of targeted interventions, such as improvement in electrolyte monitoring protocols and expanded access to specialist care, to control the rising burden.
