    Document: Hyponatraemia, the most common frequent electrolyte derangement identified among hospitalized patients, is associated with worsened outcomes in patients with pneumonia, heart failure and other disorders [26] . Hyponatraemia is common among hospitalized patients with pneumonia and is associated with worsened clinical and economic outcomes and indicates a poor prognosis [20, 25] . A recent single-centre cohort study found the incidence of HN at hospital admission among CAP patients to be 28% [26] . It is important to emphasize that the presence of HN was associated with not only prolongation of hospitalization (HLOS), but also with an increase in hospital mortality [20] . In our study, children with HN at admission had longer hos pitalization times and a prolonged duration of fever, although their final outcome was favourable, including cases that developed pleural effusion.
