Prevalence, Severity, Risk Factors, and Prognostic Value of Hyponatremia in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury (WATERWAR)

This is a retrospective descriptive study.

The included patients will be those admitted in the trauma intensive care unit of Lapeyronie University Hospital (Montpellier, France) with a TBI (head AIS ≥1) during a period of 4 years, 01/01/2014 to 31/12/2017.

Using our databank the investigators estimate 650 to 700 patients who met inclusion criteria during this period and will be analyzed. Inclusions will be confirmed after the opening of medical records.

Definition of SIADH is defined as the occurrence of a hyponatremia (≤135 mmol/L) associated with inappropriate urine concentration (urinary/plasmatic osmolarity ≥1) and a low daily urine volume (<1500 ml/24H).

Definition of CSW is defined as the occurrence of a hyponatremia (≤135 mmol/L) associated with a massive natriuresis (>140 mmol/L) and a daily urine volume > 1500 ml/24H.

Data collection will concern the medical records: medical history, traumatism severity, cerebral injuries on computed tomography, severe complications, specific treatments, and biological course from ICU admission to discharge.

The main endpoint will be the prevalence of hyponatremia (≤135 mmol/L) in the first 10 days after the traumatic brain injury.

The secondary endpoints will be the prevalence specific prevalence of CSW and SIADH, risk factors of these nosological entities, their severity, their timing to onset and their morbimorality.
