Hyponatremia Is an Independent Predictor of In-Hospital Mortality in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Joji B. Kuramatsu, MD*; Tobias Bobinger, MD*; Bastian Volbers, MD; Dimitre Staykov, MD; Hannes Lücking, MD; Stephan P. Kloska, MD; Martin Köhrmann, MD; Hagen B. Huttner, MD Background and Purpose—Hyponatremia is the most frequent electrolyte disturbance in critical care. Across various disciplines, hyponatremia is associated with increased mortality and longer hospital stay, yet in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) no data are available. This the first study that investigated the prevalence and clinical associations of hyponatremia in patients with ICH. Methods—This observational study included all consecutive spontaneous ICH patients (n=464) admitted during a 5-year period to the Department of Neurology. Patient characteristics, in-hospital measures, mortality, and functional outcome (90 days and 1 year) were analyzed to determine the effects of hyponatremia (Na
