Hypernatremia Risk Factors And Prognostic Impact In Burn Patients: A Case Control Study.

Hypernatremia is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients. Hypernatremia risk factors in burned patients are not well studied. We aimed to identify hypernatremia risk factors and to evaluate outcomes in burned patients admitted to our burns intensive care unit.

Prognostic Value of Serum C-Reactive Protein in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: When Should We Take the Sample?

Background: Several studies showed a correlation between C-reactive protein and mortality in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the best time to measure C-reactive protein to assess prognosis is not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to determine if initial or H24-C-reactive protein is independently associated with 30-day mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage.
