Diagnostic accuracy of calculated serum osmolarity to predict dehydration in older people: adding value to pathology laboratory reports

OBJECTIVES: To assess which osmolarity equation best predicts directly measured serum/plasma osmolality and whether its use could add value to routine blood test results through screening for dehydration in older people. DESIGN: Diagnostic accuracy study. PARTICIPANTS: Older people (≥65 years) in 5...
