Abstract
Abstract Objectives Our objectives were (1) to characterize the distribution of serum potassium levels at ICU admission, (2) to examine the relationship between dyskalemia at ICU admission and occurrence of cardiac events, and (3) to study both the association between dyskalemia at ICU admission and dyskalemia correction by day 2 on 28-day mortality. Design Inception cohort study from the longitudinal prospective French multicenter OUTCOMEREA database (1999–2014) Setting 22 French OUTCOMEREA network ICUs Patients Patients were classified into six groups according to their serum potassium level at admission: three groups of hypokalemia and three groups of hyperkalemia defined as serious hypokalemia [K+] 7 mmol/L, moderate hypokalemia 2.5 ≤ [K+]
