What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence rate of symptomatic hyponatraemia

    Symptomatic hyponatraemia was defined as a primary or secondary diagnosis of hyponatraemia.

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence rate of hyponatraemia requiring hospital intensive care

    Hyponatraemia requiring hospital intensive care was defined as a primary or secondary diagnosis of hyponatraemia recorded in an intensive care unit.

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

  2. Incidence and severity of clinically significant hyponatraemia

    Clinically significant hyponatraemia was defined as a serum sodium concentration of \<130 mmol/L. Severity of hyponatraemia was categorized as mild hyponatraemia (serum sodium concentration: 130 to \<135 mmol/L), moderate hyponatraemia (serum sodium concentration: \>125 to \<130 mmol/L) and severe hyponatraemia (serum sodium concentration: less than equal to \[≤\]125 mmol/L).

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

  3. Rate of all-cause mortality

    All-cause mortality was defined as death from any cause.

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

  4. Incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)

    Major adverse cardiovascular events were defined as a record of myocardial infarction and stroke. Fatal and non-fatal events will be considered separately.

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

  5. Incidence rate of major venous thromboembolic events (VTEs)

    Venous thromboembolic events were defined as a record of a deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or portal vein thrombosis. Fatal and non-fatal events will be considered separately.

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

  6. Incidence rate acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure

    Acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure was defined as primary diagnosis of acute or acute-on-chronic heart failure from hospital inpatient care or the acute and emergency ward, or death from heart failure as the underlying or contributory cause.

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

  7. Incidence of serious adverse events of MACE and VTE in Sweden

    Time frame: Through study completion, typically 2 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 3, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
