Diagnostic accuracy of calculated serum osmolarity to predict dehydration in older people: adding value to pathology laboratory reports by Lee Shepstone, John F Potter, Lee Hooper, Asmaa Abdelhamid, Amy Jennings, Paul R Hunter, W Garry John, Neil P Walsh, Adam Ali, Diane K Bunn, Susan Kerry, Gregor Lindner, Carmen A Pfortmueller, Fredrik Sjöstrand, Susan J Fairweather-Tait

“…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 cohorts: Dietary Strategies for Healthy Ageing in Europe (NU-AGE, living in the community), Dehydration Recognition In our Elders (DRIE, living in residential care), Fortes (admitted to acute medical care), Sjöstrand (emergency room) or Pfortmueller cohorts (hospitalised with liver cirrhosis).Reference standard for hydration status Directly measured serum/plasma osmolality: current dehydration (serum osmolality >300 mOsm/kg), impending/current dehydration (≥295 mOsm/kg).Index tests 39 osmolarity equations calculated using serum indices from the same blood draw as directly measured osmolality.Results Across 5 cohorts 595 older people were included, of whom 19% were dehydrated (directly measured osmolality >300 mOsm/kg). …”
