Incidence and outcomes of dysnatremia in crush injury patients admitted to Türkiye's largest hospital following the Kahramanmaraş earthquake.
Article in BMC emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesDysnatremia is a critical electrolyte disturbance that can significantly impact the prognosis of trauma patients by influencing fluid balance, neurological function, and hemodynamics. Although sodium disorder is common in hospitalized patients, few studies have specifically examined the incidence of dysnatremia in patients presenting to the emergency department for post-earthquake trauma. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of dysnatremia and the prognosis of patients with dysnatremia in trauma patients admitted to our center after the Kahramanmaraş earthquake. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween February 6th, 2023 and February 20th, 2023, a total of 422 patients with earthquake-related crush injuries after the Kahramanmaras earthquake were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: the survivor group and the exitus group. Then, patients with dysnatremia were evaluated. Age, gender, the city where patients came from, type of presentation, injured organ systems and extremities, laboratory findings, ward admission, intensive care admission, GCS, MESS, ISS, RTS, TRISS, and hemodialysis sessions were analyzed.
resultsA total of 422 earthquake victims with crush injuries were included in the study. Dysnatremia was present in 28% of the patients, and these patients had a longer hospital stay. GCS was lower, MESS and ISS values were higher, and survival rates according to TRISS were lower. Multiple extremity trauma, crush syndrome, and dialysis rates were more common in the dysnatremia group. Additionally, fasciotomy, amputation and mortality rates were higher in the dysnatremia group.
conclusionDysnatremia is a common finding in patients with crush injuries and is associated with more severe trauma and poorer clinical outcomes. This study highlights the need for close monitoring and management of sodium disturbances in trauma patients, not only in the context of earthquakes but across various disaster scenarios. Recognizing and addressing dysnatremia can contribute to improved patient outcomes in disaster and emergency settings.
