The NOS scores of the included studies ranged from 7 to 8, indicating generally high methodological quality. Meta-analysis results showed that high-level spinal cord injury (OR\u202f=\u202f1.71, 95% CI: 1.04\u20132.81), complete spinal cord injury (OR\u202f=\u202f4.96, 95% CI: 3.75\u20136.57), concomitant traumatic brain injury (OR\u202f=\u202f2.70, 95% CI: 1.79\u20134.07), and the use of assisted ventilation (OR\u202f=\u202f3.28, 95% CI: 1.52\u20137.09) were significant risk factors for hyponatremia in patients with SCI (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt;\u202f0.05).
