The prevalence of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) in brucellosis patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hyponatremia is a prevalent electrolyte abnormality amongst hospitalized patients. The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a common cause of hyponatremia. Minimal literature described an association between SIADH and brucellosis. This paper aimed to systematically review the literature to synthesize the prevalence of SIADH in brucellosis patients.

Methods

We comprehensively searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Google scholar for observational studies examining the prevalence of SIADH in brucellosis patients. There were no age, language, or date limitations. We used a prevalence meta-analysis using the random-effects model with double arcsine and back transformation. I squared (I2) was used to determine heterogeneity. The MetaXl software was
