About this study

Official title: Prediction of Timely Evolution of Plasma Sodium in Treatment of Hyponatremia - Post Hoc-analysis of the Hyponatremia Registry

The aim of this study is to further analyse the dataset of the Hyponatremia Registry, a multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted between September 2020 and February 2013 in the United States of America and the European Union. The primary interest was to provide evidence to investigators' hypothesis that baseline sodium levels are a predominant factor determining the rapidity of sodium increase irrespective of the given treatment. Further investigators aimed to identify other independent predictors of the increase of plasma sodium upon treatment.

Read the detailed description

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder in outpatients and hospitalized patients. Overly rapid sodium increase is associated with increased risk for osmotic demyelination. Smaller analyses have suggested that the slope of the sodium increment is higher with lower baseline sodium levels but this has not been confirmed in large datasets. Investigators have recently published the results of analysis on patients from the Otsuka HN-Registry on thiazide-induced hyponatremia (cooperation with Otsuka). In that dataset was founded the same association and there had been hints that this relationship holds true for all kinds of treatment including no treatment at all.

Investigators took the datasets of those patients presenting with Hyponatremia that could be classified into one etiology group by the treating physician for further analysis. Patients with euvolemic, hypervolemic, hypovolemic or thiazide-associated HN were included in investigators' analysis. Furthermore investigators only considered those cases in which the patient record provided at least one documented plasma [Na+] within <25 hours after the first plasma [Na+] ≤130mEq/L had been measured.

All variables collected in the HN registry were included in the data base. All available information on ingested or administered solutes was recorded. Linear mixed effects models were applied to conduct multivariable repeated measures analyses.

Following questions are to be answered in this study

  1. Is the baseline sodium level a predominant factor determining the rapidity of sodium increase?
  2. Ist he rapidity of sodium increase correlated to the given treatment?
  3. Can other predominant factors of slope of sodium increase be determined?

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyponatremia, run by University of Cologne at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Predictors of [Na+] slope due to therapy (time frame: Enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
