Hyponatremia is common in tuberculous meningitis (TBM), but its impact on disease severity and outcomes is unclear.
In a cohort of 864 adult patients with TBM in Indonesia, we assessed the prevalence and prognostic significance of hyponatremia, classified as moderate (120-130 mEq/L) or severe (<120 mEq/L). Patients received standard antituberculous therapy and corticosteroids and were followed for 1-year mortality.
Hyponatremia occured in 86.8% of patients, with 26% classified as severe. Severe hyponatremia associated with male, younger age, a lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and markers of more severe disease ( < .05). One-year mortality was 46.5% and associated with older age, HIV infection, lower GCS, markers of neurologic severity, fever, and thrombocytosis. Severe hyponatremia predicted mortality in univariate analysis showed no impact in HIV-positive patients.
Hyponatremia reflects disease severity in TBM but does not independently predict mortality, suggesting limited benefit from agressive correction.
低钠血症在结核性脑膜炎(TBM)中很常见,但其对疾病严重程度和预后的影响尚不清楚。
在印度尼西亚的864例成年TBM患者队列中,我们评估了低钠血症的患病率和预后意义,低钠血症分为中度(120 - 130 mEq/L)或重度(<120 mEq/L)。患者接受标准抗结核治疗和皮质类固醇治疗,并随访1年死亡率。
86.8%的患者发生低钠血症,其中26%为重度。重度低钠血症与男性、较年轻、格拉斯哥昏迷量表(GCS)评分较低以及更严重疾病的标志物相关(P <.05)。1年死亡率为46.5%,与年龄较大、HIV感染、GCS评分较低、神经严重程度标志物、发热和血小板增多症相关。重度低钠血症在单因素分析中预测死亡率,但对HIV阳性患者无影响。
低钠血症反映了TBM的疾病严重程度,但不能独立预测死亡率,提示积极纠正的益处有限。
