Hospitalized cancer patients with moderate to severe hyponatremia face high mortality rates within six months.
Among 210 patients studied, 46% were readmitted within 30 days, highlighting significant healthcare burdens.
The treated group showed lower sodium levels upon discharge, with reduced readmission rates but higher hospice transitions.
Hyponatremia serves as a poor prognostic indicator, necessitating enhanced goals of care and early planning.
