Abstract
The present study was done with the important purpose of ascertaining whether serum magnesium levels had any prognostic significance in patients who are diagnosed as systemic inflammatory response syndrome .The study was done in the seriously ill patients in the critical care unit. The inference from the study was that magnesium depletion was found to be associated with significant greater mortality rate (with p value 0.037). Also the patients in the hypomagnesemia set had more incidence of being put on mechanical ventilator support due to respiratory system decompensation. (p value <0.001) The duration of being on ventilator support was also significantly more in the patients with hypomagnesemia in the present study than in those who had normal serum magnesium concentrations.(p value <0.001). The number of days spent in ICU was also compared and it was found out that there was no significant difference in the hypomagnesemia and normomagnesemia groups (p value 0.865). There was no significant association of hypomagnesemia and other electrolyte abnormalities like hyponatremia and hypokalemia in the present study. Also the association between magnesium levels and chronic disease states like Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were not significant.
