About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical profile and outcome of children with serum electrolyte abnormalities admitted at Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Assuit University Children Hospital.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Children aged 1 month to 18 years.
Admission to the PICU for any acute medical or surgical reason.
Availability of serum electrolyte data within the first 24 hours of admission
Disqualifiers
Children with known chronic kidney disease and chronic liver disease
Patients with incomplete medical records or missing electrolyte data.
Children discharged or deceased within 6 hours of admission.
Patients with chronic liver diseases, or previously diagnosed with adrenal gland disorders
Trial population
The study population will include critically ill children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Assiut University Children's Hospital who are found to have serum electrolyte abnormalities during their admission. Patients will be enrolled consecutively over the study period, regardless of gender, aged from 1 month to 18 years.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Incidence and Correlation of Electrolyte Abnormalities With PICU Mortality
To determine the frequency and distribution of electrolyte abnormalities (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and chloride) in critically ill children admitted to the PICU, and to evaluate their correlation with PICU mortality.
Time frame
average of hospital stay: up to 28 daysSecondary outcomes
1
Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes Correlated With Electrolyte Abnormalities in PICU Patients
To identify potentially modifiable risk factors for developing electrolyte abnormalities in critically ill children admitted to the PICU, and to evaluate their correlation with adverse clinical outcomes, including prolonged PICU stay, need for mechanical ventilation, and morbidity indicators (seizures, arrhythmias, altered mental status).
Time frame
average hospital stay: up to 28 daysLocations
