Introduction: Magnesium is an essential cation, and dysmagnesaemia is linked to many poor outcomes. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dysmagnesaemia and associated health outcomes among hospitalised patients. Methods: This register-based study collected demographic and laboratory data of hospitalised patients from five publicly funded hospitals in the Northern Territory, Australia, between 2008 and 2017. Patients were stratified into five groups based on their initial serum magnesium level at admission and followed up to death or 31 December 2017.

Dysmagnesaemia was present in 31.75% of hospitalised patients, with hypomagnesaemia being more common (29.62%) than hypermagnesaemia (2.13%).
