Zusammenfassung:Hyponatremia, frequently encountered in intensive care (ICU) settings, plays a critical role in shaping patient outcomes. Despite its prevalence, contemporary research into its newly classified severity categories and their implications on mortality, renal function, and length of stay remains limited. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the impact of hyponatremia severity on these critical outcomes. A retrospective analysis of ICU patients aged >18 years who were admitted between March 2019 and December 2022 was conducted at Hamamatsu University Hospital, Shizuoka, Japan. Patients who were readmitted or had incomplete data were excluded. Hyponatremia was categorized as mild (130-135 mmol/L), moderate (125-129 mmol/L), or severe (
