Article Synopsis
- * The study tracked 283 TBI patients over one year, discovering that 29% experienced hyponatremia, with significant cases occurring mainly between 7 and 11 days post-injury, and borderline cases appearing earlier and lasting longer.
- * Key factors linked to hyponatremia included older age, more severe injuries as indicated by the Injury Severity Score (ISS) and CT findings, especially a diffuse pattern of brain injury, highlighting the importance of monitoring sodium
Background: The literature lacks information about the characteristics of the placebo effect following sham spine procedures for chronic low back pain. We aim to evaluate the effect using pain score data from the sham arms of published trials.
Methods: Relevant trials were selected and reviewed.
