Background Abnormal serum sodium levels have been associated with higher mortality among patients with acute coronary syndromes and heart failure. We sought to describe the association between sodium levels and mortality among unselected cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) patients. Methods and Results We retrospectively reviewed consecutive adult patients admitted to our cardiac intensive care unit from 2007 to 2015. Hyponatremia and hypernatremia were defined as admission serum sodium 145 mEq/L, respectively. In‐hospital mortality was assessed by multivariable regression, and postdischarge mortality was evaluated by Cox proportional‐hazards analysis. We included 9676 patients with a mean age of 68±15 years (37.5% females). Hyponatremia occurred in 1706 (17.6%) patients, and hypernatremia occurred in 322 (3.3%) patients; these groups had higher illness severity and a greater number of comorbidities. Risk of hospital mortality was higher with hyponatremia (15.5% versus 7.5%; unadjusted odds ratio, 2.41; 95% CI, 2.06–2.82; P |
