Summary

This study reviews medical records of 800 patients who had dangerously low sodium levels (≤110 mmol/L) in the hospital. Researchers want to learn how often serious brain complications like osmotic demyelination syndrome and cerebral edema occur, and what factors increase risk. The goal is to improve treatment safety, not to test a new therapy.
