Anotace: BACKGROUND: Hypernatremia is a common sodium dysbalance in neurointensive care which is associated with worse outcome. It can be caused by central diabetes insipidus (cDI) or by other mechanisms, more often from osmotherapy and furosemide. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of cDI and to analyse outcome as compared with other causes of hypernatremias found in neurointesive care.
