Subsequent evaluation showed a positive correlation between hypokalaemia and both female sex and hospital mortality. Patients with leukaemia and lymphoid tumours, especially when receiving antibiotic or cytotoxic therapy, and patients with gastro-intestinal malignancy were amongst those most frequently experiencing hypokalaemia. There was no significant association with cardiovascular disease. Drug and intravenous fluid administration accounted for the hypokalaemia in 56% of patients. While drug-related hypokalaemia was most commonly seen with diuretics, it was also apparent following use of steroids, insulin and haematinics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.62.725.187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T20:58:16Z","timestamp":1230584296000},"page":"187-191","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":103,"title":["Record linkage study of hypokalaemia in hospitalized patients"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"B J","family":"Paice","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Infirmary , Glasgow G4 0SF, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K R","family":"Paterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Infirmary , Glasgow G4 0SF, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F","family":"Onyanga-Omara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Infirmary , Glasgow G4 0SF, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Donnelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Infirmary , Glasgow G4 0SF, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J M B","family":"Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Infirmary , Glasgow G4 0SF, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D H","family":"Lawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Infirmary , Glasgow G4 0SF, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1986,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","article-title":"Fate of potassium supplements in six patients receiving long-term diuretics for oedematous disease","volume":"721","author":"DOWN, P.E.; POLAK, A.; RAD, R.; MEAD, J.A.","year":"1972","unstructured":"DOWN, P.E., POLAK, A., RAD, R. & MEAD, J.A.
