Incidence and Risk Factors for Hyponatremia in Patients Newly Prescribed Citalopram
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hyponatremia is a common and under-recognized adverse drug reaction of citalopram. This study aims to determine the incidence of hyponatremia and to identify risk factors in a large, population-based cohort initiating new prescriptions for citalopram. Following approval from the ethics review board, data were obtained from Alberta Information Network databases to identify patients with new citalopram prescriptions from 2010-2017, inclusive. Hyponatremia was defined as serum sodium level <135 mmol/L. Associations were determined by performing Cox regression with time-varying covariate analysis, with the development of hyponatremia as the dependent variable. This is the first large-scale, population-based study to explore risk factors, based solely on laboratory serum data, for the development of hyponatremia in patients initiating citalopram therapy. We report a 16.7% incidence of hyponatremia after starting citalopram treatment and significant risk factors include lower baseline sodium, concurrent thiazide diuretic use, older age, and male sex.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
