Meta-Analysis of Hyponatremia and In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Stroke

A systematic review and meta-analysis by Prachi Sharma, published on figshare in 2026, investigating the association between hyponatremia on admission and in-hospital mortality in acute stroke patients. The analysis includes 17 studies published between 2000 and 2025, pooling risk ratios for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke outcomes. The dataset is a 28.0 KB document summarizing the review's methods, results, and conclusions.

Use Cases

• Assess the prognostic value of hyponatremia based on pooled risk ratios for in-hospital mortality.
• Compare mortality associations between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke types based on subgroup analyses.
• Inform clinical guidelines for electrolyte management in acute stroke care based on systematic review evidence.

Strengths

• Includes 17 studies with a defined search period from 2000 to 2025.
• Reports specific pooled risk ratios (RR 1.41) and confidence intervals for mortality.
• Conducts subgroup analyses by stroke type (ischemic vs. hemorrhagic).

Limitations

• The dataset is a 28.0 KB document; the underlying tabular data from the meta-analysis is not provided.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting direct analysis.
• The data is a summary of published studies; original patient-level data is not included.
