Prevalence of Hypochloremia in Patients With Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The intersection of heart failure (HF) and serum chloride is of increasing interest; however, estimates of the global prevalence of hypochloremia in HF were inconsistent. This paper aimed to quantify the current prevalence of hypochloremia in patients with HF.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases were systematically searched from inception to May 24, 2022. Observational studies that clearly defined the cutoff for hypochloremia and provided the prevalence of hypochloremia in patients with HF were included. Stata 17.0 was used for data analysis. Heterogeneity was assessed according to Cochran's Q and I² values, and results were pooled using a random-effects model. Sensitivity an
