Abstract
Background: Anaemia, marked by abnormally low levels of haemoglobin and often caused by an absence of iron, remains a severe public health problem in Pakistan. Studies have yet to be done on the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia in children, making it essential to research the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region to understand better how widespread this ailment is amongst the region's pediatric populations. Objective: Determine the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia in anaemic newborns between 6 and 66 months. Materials and Methods: This multi-center study was conducted between February 2022 and February 2023 at the Hayatabad Medical Complex pediatric department in Peshawar. The 180 enrolled children's basic demographic information, including age, gender, and weight, were collected. Operational guidelines for automated analysis of iron deficiency anaemia collected venous whole blood samples.
