- W2507079985 abstract "Abstract Background/Purpose Magnesium deficiency has been a common, but easily ignored, electrolyte abnormality. Studies on magnesium deficiency are lacking in India, especially in a rural setting. Here, we have correlated serum magnesium levels with outcomes in elderly patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit with respect to the length of intensive care unit stay, need for mechanical ventilatory support and its duration, and outcome (discharge/death). Methods A prospective, observational study was conducted in patients aged 60 years and older, who had been admitted to the intensive care unit of the medicine department for over a year. The chi-square test was applied to correlate hypomagnesemia with the outcome. Results In our study, 59.30% of the elderly patients had hypomagnesemia. Compared with patients with a normal magnesium level, hypomagnesemic patients had no correlation with the duration of medical intensive care unit stay (5.57 ± 6.10 days vs. 5.61 ± 5.55 days), but the need for mechanical ventilation (57.84% vs. 45.71%), rate of discharge from the intensive care unit or cure (60.28% vs. 71.42% ), rate of death (39.21% vs. 28.57%), and mean duration of ventilation (3.07 ± 5.05 days vs. 2.15 ± 3.46 days) were higher. However, no significant statistical difference was found between these groups. Conclusion Hypomagnesemia was associated with a slightly higher mortality rate. Requirement and duration of ventilatory support were also higher, although not statistically significant. Hypomagnesemia was not found to have any impact on the duration of medical intensive care unit stay. Monitoring of serum magnesium levels may have prognostic and perhaps therapeutic implications in the elderly." @default.
