Key result
Among 30 hospitalized patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis, higher peak CK levels predicted longer length of stay, and 29 of 30 patients were discharged when CK levels downtrended.
Observational (n=30)
In patients hospitalized for exertional rhabdomyolysis, length of stay correlates with peak CK levels, and discharge typically occurs once CK levels begin to downtrend.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May inform discharge timing via CK trends in exertional rhabdomyolysis; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Oh et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Exertional rhabdomyolysis (n=30). Exertional rhabdomyolysis was evaluated on Length of stay and clinical course. Among 30 hospitalized patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis, higher peak CK levels predicted longer length of stay, and 29 of 30 patients were discharged when CK levels downtrended.
