Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: As our older adult population grows exponentially in the coming decade, research to improve the care of older adults during hospitalization is critical. In this edition of TSACO, Naaseh et al1 undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between hyponatremia and clinical outcomes in geriatric trauma patients with a specific focus on falls and fractures. Synthesizing data from four retrospective cohort studies, the study encompassed nearly 12 000 patients and is the largest study of this topic to date.
