Factors Associated with Hyponatremia in Acute Spinal Cord Injury: Meta-Analysis

Huan Li published a meta-analysis on figshare in May 2026, synthesizing evidence from 12 observational studies involving 2,355 patients. The work systematically reviews factors associated with hyponatremia in patients with acute spinal cord injury, pooling results from databases including PubMed, Embase, and Chinese sources up to December 2025.

Use Cases

• Identify risk factors for hyponatremia based on injury level and severity mentioned in the description
• Assess the association between infection and electrolyte imbalance in acute SCI patients
• Evaluate the link between hypoproteinemia and hyponatremia in the described patient population

Strengths

• The analysis is based on 12 studies aggregating data from 2,355 patients
• Results include specific odds ratios with confidence intervals for identified risk factors
• The systematic review protocol included multiple databases and a quality assessment process

Limitations

• The dataset is a 910.5 KB DOCX document; the underlying tabular meta-analysis data is not directly accessible
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the text
• Row count for any underlying data tables is unknown
