INTRODUCTION: @entity1272 has been common, but mostly underdiagnosed electrolyte abnormality. Studies regarding this is lacking in India especially in rural setting. Here, we have correlated serum @entity1760 ( @entity4612 ) level with outcome in @entity1 of medicine Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with respect to length of ICU stay, need for mechanical ventilatory support and its duration and ultimate outcome (discharge/ @entity204 ). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective observational study carried out over a period of 1-year enrolling 601 @entity1 of @entity910 ( @entity910 ). The Chi-square test is applied to correlate @entity1272 with the outcome. RESULT AND OBSERVATION: About 25% @entity1 had admission @entity1272 . When compared with the normal @entity4612 group, there was significant association of @entity1272 with outcome in terms of duration of @entity910 stay 5.46 (5.75) versus 3.93 (3.88), need for mechanical ventilation (56.86% vs. 24.33%), discharge/cured from ICU (61.43% vs. 85.26%), and @entity204 (38.56% vs. 14.73%). However, no significant difference was found in the duration of ventilation between the two groups. CONCLUSION: @entity1272 is associated with a higher mortality rate in critically ill @entity1 . The need for ventilatory support, but not its duration is significantly higher in @entity29437 @entity1 . @entity1272 is commonly associated with @entity295 and @entity6 . The duration of @entity910 stay is significantly higher in @entity1 with low serum @entity4612 .
