Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of hyponatremia in reducing the incidence of falls.

    The effectiveness will be measured in terms of less incidence of falls

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the 2 strategies proposed: conventional treatment vs early intervention.

    1 year

Study Arms (2)

Early hyponatremia diagnosis and treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

The early diagnosis of hiponatremia is not a stándar procedure. In the experimental arm, hyponatremia will be diagnosed and treated early.

Other: Early detection and treatment of hyponatremiaOther: No Intervention (SOC)

No intervention

NO INTERVENTION

Usual pattern of work will be performed in all patients who enter in Hospital. Duration: 6 months.

Interventions

In the experimental group, hyponatremia will be diagnosed and treated early. Therefore, the researchers will review the patients' sodium levels at admission and throughout their stay.
