Mortality Results: A total of 42 studies were included, 24 case reports and 18 retrospective studies.
The prevalence rate of hyponatremia among TBM patients was 52% and the rate of death
among those patients was 29%. The meta-regression analysis revealed that there was no
significant effect of sodium level on the death rate in TBM patients (P-value ¼ 0.9). Addi-
tionally, there was no significant difference in sodium level based on sex, and etiologies of
hyponatremia.

Conclusions: Hyponatremia is commonly present in patient with TBM, but it is not signifi-
cantly correlated to the rate of death. However, it is necessary to treat this potentially life-
threatening condition appropriately according to its etiology, further research is needed on
its pathophysiology in TBM, its risk factors, and the most appropriate treatment.
