Hyponatremia in children with bronchiolitis admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit is associated with worse outcomes.

TLDR
Pediatric patients diagnosed with bronchiolitis who present with a serum sodium concentration less than 135 mEq/L within 2 hours of admission to the PICU fare worse than their cohorts with normonatremia.

The Economic Burden of Hyponatremia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis based on published studies that compared hospital length of stay and cost between patients with and without hyponatremia confirms that hypon atremia is associated with a prolonged hospitallength of stay and higher risk of readmission.
