Ines Nakashima: Hyponatraemia

ENC-00041 · 79M · Hospital Medicine · admitted Sat Oct 31, 2026 12:31 PM · discharged Thu Nov 05, 2026 10:28 AM · attending Dr. Wes Merriweather · resident Dr. Noor Halvorsen

Specificity gap Criteria met Open

Criteria support Hyponatraemia (moderate) (E87.1); no corresponding diagnosis is documented.

Documented vs supported

Documented: not documented
Criteria support: Hyponatraemia (moderate) · E87.1 Hypo-osmolality and hyponatremia
Outcome: Sodium below 135 on 5 values (lowest 129, moderate) with treatment ordered
Rule: Hyponatraemia v2026.11-1
Published source: Clinical practice guideline on diagnosis and treatment of hyponatraemia (Spasovski et al., Eur J Endocrinol 2014;170:G1-G47) (2014), Classification by biochemical severity: mild 130-135, moderate 125-129, profound <125 mmol/L · source (checked 2026-11-14)

Effect if the clinician agrees (illustrative)

Change: add E87.1
Secondary-diagnosis level: — → CC
MS-DRG (illustrative): 193 Simple pneumonia and pleurisy with MCC → 193 Simple pneumonia and pleurisy with MCC
Relative weight: 1.3144 → 1.3144 (+0.0000)
Codes before: J18.9, E43, I50.9
Codes after: J18.9, E43, I50.9, E87.1

All open gaps on this encounter together: MS-DRG 193 → 194 (RW -0.5085).

CC/MCC status, CC exclusions (subset) and relative weights from the public CMS FY2026 IPPS final rule tables (5, 6I, 6J, 6K). This is not a grouper and not a payment estimate. Queries never mention any of this.

0.5 points

SIMULATED: Illustrative severity weights (MCC = 1.0, CC = 0.5, non-CC = 0) summed over secondary diagnoses; not a validated risk-adjustment model and not a measured effect.

Question:
Based on your clinical judgement and the indicators above, can a related diagnosis be documented?

Response options (select one or write your own):
( ) Hyponatremia (please specify cause, if known)
( ) Other (please specify): ____________
( ) Unable to determine

Please respond based on your independent clinical judgement. Any response, including "unable to determine", is acceptable. This query and your response are kept as part of the health record.

Other findings on this encounter

Heart failure · Clinical judgement required Clinical judgement required: Only one acute indicator; acuity needs clinical judgement.
Malnutrition · Clinical validation gap Documented “severe malnutrition” (E43) conflicts with what the criteria support (Moderate (non-severe) protein-calorie malnutrition (acute illness context), E44.0).
