Incidence and Severity of Community- and Hospital-Acquired Hyponatremia in Pediatrics.

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disturbance in hospitalized children, with a reported incidence of 15-30%, but its overall incidence and severity are not well known. The objective of our study was to determine the incidence, severity, and associated risk factors of community- and hospital-acquired hyponatremia on a general pediatric ward. Data of 5550 children admitted from June 2012 to December 2019 on plasma sodium and discharge diagnosis were analyzed by logistic regression model.

Mortality predictors in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia: a machine learning approach using eXtreme Gradient Boosting model.

Recently, global health has seen an increase in demand for assistance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has prompted many researchers to conduct different studies looking for variables that are associated with increased clinical risk, and find effective and safe treatments. Many of these studies have been limited by presenting small samples and a large data set.
