Figure 2 Distribution of the frequency (%) of falls according to the level of hyponatremia among 122 patients presenting with asymptomatic hyponatremia between 115 and 132 mEq/L. The numbers on top of bars are absolute number of falls (numbers on top of bars) per number of patients in subgroup of cohort. No patient presented with acute organic brain disease.
