Table 3. Association between initial hypochloraemia and 3-month hyponatraemia in initially normonatriaemic patients.a*.
Without hyponatraemia after 3 months * | Hyponatraemia after 3 months* | P | OR | 95% CI | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Without hypochloraemia with normonatraemia | 62 (96.9%) | 2 (3.1%) | 0.034 | 15.5 | 1.7–140.6 |
Hypochloraemia with normonatraemia at admission | 4 (66.6%) | 2 (33.3%) |
Association was calculated with Fisher exact test. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
