Recent research suggests that Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) affects an estimated 0.3% to 15.5% of the general pediatric population, with much higher rates in clinical settings. Understanding what are the statistics on ARFID in children is vital for early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and better health outcomes for affected children.

While severe hyponatremia is associated with a high mortality rate, particularly in hospitalized patients, recent research suggests that patients often die from underlying medical conditions rather than the low sodium levels themselves. The precise mortality statistics for hyponatremia are complex and depend on several factors, including the severity of the sodium imbalance and the presence of comorbid diseases.
