%X Hypocalcemia is very common in critically ill patients admitted to ICU. However, its clinical importance and relation to patient¡¯s outcome during early days of ICU admission is questionable. Based on the mentioned problem, it seems that calcium assessment is highly important in these patients. The present study aimed at evaluating the relationship between different calcium concentrations (total/ionized/corrected) and disease severity in critically ill patients
