Abstract
PURPOSE: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis is often undertreated with most patients discharged with persistent hyponatraemia. This study tested the hypothesis that an endocrine input is superior to routine care in correcting hyponatraemia and can improve patient outcomes. METHODS: This single-centre prospective-controlled intervention study included inpatients admitted at a UK teaching hospital, with serum sodium ≤ 127 mmol/l, due to syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis over a 6-month period. The prospective intervention group (18 subjects with mean serum sodium 120.7 mmol/l) received prompt endocrine input, while the historical control group (23 patients with mean serum sodium 124.1 mmol/l) received routine care. The time needed for serum sodium increase ≥ 5 mmol/l was the primary endpoint. RESULTS: The intervention group achieved serum sodium rise by ≥5 mmol/l in 3.5 vs. 7.1 days in the control group (P = 0.005). In the intervention group, the mean total serum sodium increase was 12 mmol/l with only 5.8 % of patients discharged with serum sodium < 130 vs. 6.3 mmol/l increase (P < 0.001) and 42.1 % of the subjects discharged with serum sodium < 130 mmol/l in the control group (P = 0.012). The mean length of hospital stay in the intervention group (10.9 days) was significantly shorter than in the control group (14.5 days; P = 0.004).The inpatient mortality rate was 5.5 % in intervention arm vs. 17.4 % in control arm, but this difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Since the endocrine input improved time for correction of hyponatraemia and shortened length of hospitalisation, widespread provision of endocrine input should be considered.
