Elderly

High‑ and low‑inpatients’ serum magnesium levels are associated with in‑hospital mortality in elderly patients: a neglected marker?

The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between serum Mg and in-hospital mortality (IHM) in patients admitted to the medical ward of two hospitals in the Veneto region (Italy). A logistic regression model was used to assess the unadjusted and adjusted association of serum Mg and IHM. Serum Mg levels seem to be a good predictor of IHM.
