Study on incidence and clinical profile of anemia in children aged 1 years to 15 years attending tertiary care hospital

Background: Children are considered as an important asset for any country and their health as one of the important indicators of a healthy country. There are various factors influencing children's health, with anemia being one of them. Anemia is a major global health problem, especially in developing countries like India, despite the fact that this problem is largely preventable and easily treatable. Methods: It is a descriptive study conducted in 140 children aged 1 year to 15 years who presented with anemia in the department of pediatrics at Navodaya Medical College Hospital and Research Center, Raichur. Aim was to study the incidence and profile of anemia in children aged 1 years to 15 years. Results: A total 0f 140 cases aged between 1- 15 years were included in the study. The highest number of cases occurred in the 11-15 years age group (38.5%), followed by the 6-10 years group (35.0%). There is more female preponderance in this study (55.7%) compared to males (44.2%). Moderate degree of anemia was the commonest grade of anemia (42.8%) The most common cause of anemia in this study was iron deficiency, accounting for 58 cases (41.4%) followed by 17 cases (12.1%) had megaloblastic anemia. Conclusions: Iron deficiency anemia is a preventable cause of cognitive impairment, and early interventions can prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with anemia. Despite the implementation of national programs to combat iron deficiency, the problem persists. Early detection of anemia among these children enables the planning of suitable interventions, such as nutritional education for mothers, growth monitoring, nutritional supplementation, deworming, and more, to effectively address and mitigate the issue.

Anemia in young pregnant women: A cross-sectional study in Indonesia

Background: The prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in Indonesian remains high at 48.9%, with the highest rates observed among young mothers aged 15-24 years. Anemia is associated with adverse outcomes for both mothers and their children. Understanding the determinants of anemia in young mothers is crucial for taking preventive measures. However, there are currently no national studies in Indonesia on the prevalence and risk factors of anemia in pregnant women aged 15 to 24 years.Objective: To measure the prevalence and factors associated with anemia in young pregnant women in Indonesia.Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized on secondary data from the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar= Riskesdas). The subject of this research were pregnant women aged 15 to 24 years who participated in Riskesdas 2018 and had independent variables data including hemoglobin measurement data, age, education, residence, occupation, travel time to health facilities, age at first pregnancy, ownership of the maternal and child health (MCH) handbook, history of previous abortion, gestational age, number of iron supplement tablets, supplementary feeding, and chronic energy deficiency. Univariate analysis was conducted to analyse the subject characteristics and hemoglobin data, while chi-square and logistic regression were used to determine factors associated with anemia in young pregnant women Results: The study found that 36.2% of young pregnant women had anemia. The incidence of anemia was associated with gestational age but not with other factors. Pregnancy in the first trimester poses the highest risk compared to other trimesters (cOR=3.89; 95%CI:1.47-10.30; p=0.006), as confirmed by multivariate analysis (aOR=4.44; 95%CI: 1.41-13.95; p=0.01).Conclusion: Anemia affects 36.2% of pregnant women aged 15 to 24 years in Indonesia. The risk of anemia in young pregnant women is significantly associated with gestational age with the first trimester being the most critical period.

An Electrolytic Elemental Iron Powder Effectively Regenerates Hemoglobin in Anemic Rats and Is Relatively Well Absorbed When Compared to Ferrous Sulfate Monohydrate.

Elemental iron powders are used as food fortificants to reduce the incidence of iron deficiency anemia. However, many commercially available iron powders are relatively untested in vivo. The purpose of this study was to determine the hemoglobin regeneration efficiency (HRE) and relative iron bioavailability (RBV) of an electrolytic elemental iron powder (EIP), by treating anemic rats with 14 d iron repletion diets fortified with four different concentrations (12, 24, 36, or 48 mg iron/kg diet) of EIP and bakery-grade ferrous sulfate monohydrate (FS; FeSO4•H2O), or no added iron (control); n = 9-12/group. The HRE of FS was significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) than EIP at each concentration of dietary iron tested. For EIP, the HREs (ratios) of diets containing 12, 24, 36, and 48 mg iron/kg were 0.356, 0.205, 0.197, and 0.163, respectively. For both EIP and FS, HRE was inversely associated with increasing dietary iron. The RBVs (%) of iron from EIP in diets at 12, 24, 36, and 48 mg iron/kg as compared to FS were 64.5, 59.1, 50.6, and 54.3%, respectively. Overall, findings show that at the concentrations of iron tested, EIP has RBVs greater than 50% and is an effective fortification agent to replenish hemoglobin and correct iron deficiency anemia.

Capturing The Effect of Iron Intake on The Incidence of Anemia in Pregnant Women

Iron is one of the important components of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in red blood cells from the lungs to all body tissues. The concentration of hemoglobin indicates the level of iron sufficiency or deficiency. Iron deficiency can cause anemia, resulting in reduced oxygen capacity in red blood cells for organs. In pregnant women, anemia is still a frequent nutritional problem. Anemia in pregnant women can increase the risk of complications in pregnancy and childbirth. The method used in writing this article is a literature review of journals from 2019 to 2024. The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the effect of iron intake on the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. The results of the articles reviewed show that there is an effect of iron intake on the incidence of anemia in pregnant women. Iron intake can increase hemoglobin levels to reach normal values. In maximizing iron absorption, vitamin C intake is also good to consume to help the iron absorption process. So it can be concluded that consuming food intake containing iron can increase hemoglobin production in pregnant women, which can reduce the risk of childbirth such as premature birth and low birth weight (LBW) in infants.

The application of cut-umbilical cord milking in term cesarean deliveries for preventing anemia and iron deficiency of newborns

Objective: To anlysis the efficacy and safety of cut-umbilical cord milking (C-UCM) compared with immediate cord clamping in preventing anemia and iron deficiency among term cesarean-delivered newborns. Methods: A total of 485 pregnant women planning to deliver by cesarean section were recruited in this randomized controlled trial in Hunan Maternal and Child Health Hospital and Liuyang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from July 2016 to April 2019. A block randomization was conducted to evenly allocate them to the controlled group and the C-UCM group. In the controlled group, the cord was clamped within 30 seconds as routine. In the C-UCM group, the cord was first clamped at 25 cm from the newborn's navel, and then the blood in the cord was gently squeezed into the newborn's body until the cord became white and shriveled. The cord was clamped twice at 2-3 cm from the newborn's navel subsequently. Neonatal jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia and polycythemia were monitored before discharge. After the newborns discharged, their hemoglobin, red blood cell count, hematocrit (at the age of 1, 6 and 12 months) and serum ferritin (at the age of 6 and 12 months) were followed up; body length and weight were measured; and information about their feeding and iron supplementation were collected (at the age of 1, 6, 12 and 18 months). The two groups were compared by t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ² test, or Fisher exact probability method. The hospital was set as a random item, and the mixed effects regression model was used to evaluate the effect of C-UCM on relevant indicators of cesarean-delivered newborns. Results: There were 244 women in the C-UCM group with an average age of (31.9±4.4) years, and 241 in the control group with an average age of (31.8±4.2) years (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the C-UCM group and the control group at 1, 6 and 12 months of age in hemoglobin [(123.6±14.5) vs (122.2±14.5) g/L, (115.3±9.4) vs (114.1±8.5) g/L, (115.6±9.6) vs (116.1±12.6) g/L] or anemia incidence rate [15.2% (17/112) vs 18.4% (19/103), 22.7% (34/150) vs 26.8% (44/164), 22.3% (25/112) vs 19.5% (22/113)] (all P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 6 and 12 months of age in serum ferritin [M (Q1, Q3), 39.9 (24.9, 61.8) vs 43.6 (25.2, 100.9) μg/L, 40.3 (25.4, 259.2) vs 40.3 (26.4, 167.6) μg/L)] or iron deficiency incidence rate [6.1% (5/82) vs 4.2% (3/72), 6.7% (5/75) vs 3.8% (3/80)] (all P>0.05). There were also no significant difference between the two groups in other indicators, such as the Z-score of weight-for-length, the incidence of neonatal jaundice, and the incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (all P>0.05). After adjusting for the relevant covariates, there were still no significant effects of C-UCM on these outcomes above. Conclusions: Compared to immediate cord clamping, the intervention of gently squeezing 25 cm of the cord does not significantly reduce the risk of anemia or iron deficiency in term cesarean-delivered newborns, nor does it have a significant impact on infant growth and development. Yet this intervention does not increase the risk of jaundice or hyperbilirubinemia in newborns as well.

Investigating Combination Therapy: The Role of Lutetium-177 PSMA-617 Radioligand Therapy and Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Background: The combination of Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) PSMA-617 radioligand therapy (RLT) with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) has shown promise in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, real-world data on the efficacy and safety of this combination are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of combination therapy with Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT and ARPIs on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with mCRPC. Methods: In this retrospective study, 104 mCRPC patients receiving Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT at our institution between December 2017 and January 2024 were divided into the following two groups those receiving Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT plus ARPI (n = 34) and those receiving Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT alone (n = 70). Patients received 150 to 200 millicuries Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT in each cycle. PFS and zOS were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard models. Results: The combination therapy significantly prolonged median PFS compared to Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT alone (11 vs. 5.6 months; HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.28-0.79; p < 0.01). A trend towards improved OS was also observed in the combination group (20.3 vs. 15.9 months; HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.33-1.02; p = 0.06). Age was a significant predictor of OS (21.2 vs. 12.4 months for younger vs. older patients; p < 0.01), while Gleason score and visceral involvement did not significantly impact PFS. The safety profile indicated that adverse effects were generally comparable between the two groups, with no statistically significant differences in the incidence of anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nephrotoxicity, or hepatotoxicity. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that combining Lu-177 PSMA-617 RLT with ARPIs may significantly improve PFS in mCRPC patients. The potential OS benefit warrants further investigation in larger prospective trials. Age should be considered when making treatment decisions for mCRPC patients.

Anemia incidence and influencing factors among children aged 0-6 years in Shannan city, Xizang Autonomous Region

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of anemia children aged 0-6 years in Shannan city, Xizang Autonomous Region. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed to measure hemoglobin of 12 405 children aged 0-6 years in 12 counties (districts) of Shannan city, Xizang Autonomous Region and basic information including gender, age, ethnicity, address, local altitude, urban area, agricultural and pastoral areas, etc were collected. According to the altitude of the surveyed children's place of residence, anemia in children under the plain standard and the prevalence of anemia after adjusting for altitude were reported, and the influencing factors of anemia in these children were analyzed by Logistic regression methods. Results: Among the 12 405 children, 6 383 (51.46%) were males, 6 022 (48.54%) were females, 462 (3.72%) were newborns, 68 (0.55%) were 1 month old children, 153 (1.23%) were 4-<6 months old children, and 11 722 (94.49%) were 6 months to 6 years old children. The prevalence of anemia in children aged 0-6 years in Shannan city before altitude correction was 15.50%(1 923/12 405), and it was 57.84% (7 175/12 405) after altitude correction. The hemoglobin level in the children was (131±20) g/L. Univariate analysis showed that the anemia rate of males was higher than that of females (59.17% (3 777/6 383) vs.56.43% (3 398/6 022), P<0.05), the anemia rate of Tibetan children was higher than that of children of other ethnic groups (58.21% (6 992/12 011) vs.46.45% (183/394), P<0.05), the anemia rate of children in agricultural and pastoral areas was higher than that of urban children (58.75% (6 212/10 574) vs.(52.59% 963/1 831), P<0.05), and the anemia rate of children in higher-altitude areas was higher than that of children in high-altitude areas (67.98% (2 773/4 079) vs.52.87% (4 402/8 326), P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that girls (OR=0.89, 95%CI 0.83-0.96), children of other ethnic groups (OR=0.72, 95%CI 0.58-0.89), children aged 4-<6 months (OR=0.40, 95%CI 0.24-0.67) and children aged 6 months to 6 years (OR=0.59, 95%CI 0.43-0.82) were protective factors, and children who lived in agricultural and pastoral areas (OR=1.15, 95%CI 1.04-1.28) and children living at altitudes higher than 4 000 m areas (OR=1.88, 95%CI 1.73-2.04) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of anemia. Conclusions: The prevalence of anemia in children aged 0-6 years in Shannan city was still relatively high. It might be affected by factors such as sex, ethnicity, age of the children, place of residence and altitude where the children lived.

Factors Associated With The Incidence Of Anaemia In Grade X Students At Sman 1 Sukahaji, Majalengka District In 2023

Anemia is a condition in which the number and size of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels fall below the set normal limit, resulting in disruption of the capacity of the blood to transport oxygen throughout the body. The incidence of anemia in Indonesia is 48.9% with the proportion of anemia in the age group 15-24 years namely 32%. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with the incidence of anemia in class X students at SMAN 1 Sukahaji, Majalengka Regency in 2023.

Anemia can be caused by several factors, including nutritional status and the length of the menstrual cycle. Adolescent nutritional status is influenced by body image. so go on a strict diet. Blood loss every month (menstruation) too. impact on anemia. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and menstrual status with the incidence of anemia in young women in. Mahfilud Islamic Boarding School. Duror II, Suger Kidul Village, Jelbuk District, Jember Regency, This research design uses a correlation method with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were 104 young women at the Mahfilud Duror II Islamic Boarding School. The sample for this research was 82 young women. The sampling technique used was nonprobability sampling using purposive sampling. The instruments in this study were body scales, height measuring instruments, questionnaires, and easy touch GCHB. From the research it was found that nutritional status was normal (64.6%), normal menstrual status (53.7%), anemia status, no anemia (51.2%). The results of the Spearman's Rho statistical test with (a = 0.05) resulted in a p value of 0.139 so that H1 was rejected so H0 was accepted, which means there is no relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of anemia. The results of the second Spearman's Rho statistical test with (a = 0.05) resulted in a p value &lt;0.001 so that H2 was accepted, which means there is a relationship between menstrual status and the incidence of anemia at the Mahfilud Duror II Islamic Boarding School, Suger Kidul Village, Jelbuk District, Jember Regency with the strength of the relationship strong (r = 0.610). The coefficient number above is positive, so the better the menstrual status, the lower the anemia.

A multicentre study of amphotericin B treatment for histoplasmosis: assessing mortality rates and adverse events.

Progressive disseminated histoplasmosis is a significant issue in Latin America, particularly in Brazil, contributing to high mortality rates. Our objectives were to comprehensively describe histoplasmosis treatment with various amphotericin B (AmB) formulations, including mortality rates, adverse effects and risk factors for mortality. This multicentre retrospective cohort study (January 2014-December 2019) evaluated medical records of patients with proven or probable histoplasmosis treated with at least two doses of AmB in seven tertiary medical centres in Brazil. We assessed risk factors associated with death during hospitalization using univariate and multivariate analyses. The study included 215 patients, mostly male (n = 158, 73%) with HIV infection (n = 187, 87%), and a median age of 40 years. Only 11 (5%) patients initiated treatment with liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB). Amphotericin B deoxycholate (D-AmB) was administered to 159 (74%) patients without changes in the treatment. The overall mortality during hospitalization was 23% (50/215). Variables independently associated with mortality were use of D-AmB (OR 4.93) and hospitalization in ICU (OR 9.46). There was a high incidence of anaemia (n = 19, 90%), acute kidney injury (n = 96, 59%), hypokalaemia (n = 73, 55%) and infusion reactions (n = 44, 20%) during treatment. We found that D-AmB was the main formulation, which was also associated with a higher mortality rate. Lipid formulations of AmB have become more readily available in the public health system in Brazil. Further studies to evaluate the effectiveness of L-AmB will likely show improvements in the treatment outcomes for patients with disseminated histoplasmosis.

Effects of thalassemia minor on umbilical artery blood flow and perinatal outcomes in pregnancy: A retrospective cohort study.

The aim of the present study was to compare the fetal umbilical artery blood flow parameters in the third trimester and perinatal outcomes between pregnant women with and without thalassemia minorin South China. This was a retrospective cohort study. Doppler ultrasound was used to detect fetal umbilical artery hemodynamics in pregnant women with or without thalassemia minor during the third trimester. The main parameters assessed were umbilical artery peak systolic flow velocity/end-diastolic flow velocity (S/D), resistance index (RI), pulsation index (PI), and relevant perinatal outcomes. This study included 540 pregnant women, 180 with thalassemia minor and 360 being healthy controls. In the third trimester, the thalassemia minor group had higher umbilical artery S/D (P = 0.002), RI (P = 0.002), and PI (P = 0.012) than healthy pregnant women, as well as lower levels of hemoglobin (Hb) (P < 0.001) and higher ferritin levels (P < 0.001). Compared to the non-thalassemia group, neonatal body weight in the thalassemia minor group was significantly lower (P = 0.001). Additionally, the incidence of maternal anemia (odds ratio [OR] 3.92; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.57-5.99, P < 0.001), low birth weight (OR 15.35; 95% CI: 1.71-137.93, P = 0.015), fetal distress (OR 2.18; 95% CI: 1.12-4.26, P = 0.023), neonatal asphyxia (OR 12.81; 95% CI: 1.40-117.33, P = 0.024), oligohydramnios (OR 18.25; 95% CI: 2.21-150.36, P = 0.007) and Apgar score <7 at 1 min after birth (OR 7.97; 95% CI: 1.53-41.54, P = 0.014) was significantly higher in the thalassemia minor group. Pregnant women with thalassemia minor have higher umbilical artery S/D, RI and PI during the third trimester and a higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes.

The Relationship of Tea Consumption Habits with Incidences of Anemia in Adolescent Girls at Pekanbaru City

Anemia is a condition where there is a lack of red blood cells below normal, one of which is caused by consuming iron inhibitors such as tannins in tea. Tannins are known to inhibit the absorption of iron, especially the heme non-iron category. Drinking tea at the same time as eating can inhibit the absorption of Fe and thus affect hemoglobin levels. This study aims to determine the relationship between tea consumption habits and the incidence of anemia in young women at MTsN 3 Pekanbaru. This type of research is descriptive with a cross sectional design. The research sample of 64 female adolescent respondents was obtained using purposive sampling. Sampling used inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on tea consumption habits was obtained using the SQ-FFQ (Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency) method and using a questionnaire. Hemoglobin level data was obtained by taking blood using the Diaspect device. The results of the study showed that 68,8% of respondents drank tea at the same time as eating, the percentage of respondents who consumed tea in the occasional category if the score was ≥ 10-14,9 with a frequency of 1-2x/week was 53,1% and the percentage of respondents who have a hemoglobin level of ≥12 g/dl with a category of no iron deficiency anemia of 65,5%.The conclusion of this studyis that there is no significant relationship between the habit of drinking tea and the incidence of anemia but there is a significant relationship between the time of tea consumption and the incidence of anemia in Adolescent girls.

Pengaruh Konsumsi Buah Kurma terhadap Kadar Hemoglobin Ibu Hamil dengan Anemia

Globally, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in developed countries is 49% and in developing countries it is 53%. In Indonesia, the rate of anemia in pregnant women is quite high, namely 48.9%. Anemia in pregnant women can increase the risk of premature birth and bleeding. One effort that can help prevent and treat anemia in pregnant women is to consume foods that are sources of iron, for example dates. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of consuming dates on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with anemia. The research design used a quasi-experimental one group with control group. The experimental group was the group that consumed dates and Fe tablets, while the control group only consumed Fe tablets. The population is all third trimester pregnant women at PMB Lina in May 2024, totaling 24 respondents where each group consists of 12 respondents. The sampling technique used is total sampling. Based on the results of the normality test, sig. &gt;0.05, then the statistical test used is the Paired Sample T Test. The average hemoglobin level in the experimental group before being given dates and Fe tablets was 10.2 gr/dl and the average hemoglobin level after being given date palm juice was 11.4 gr/dl. The results of the Wilcoxon test obtained a p value of 0.001, meaning that there was an effect of giving dates on hemoglobin levels in pregnant women. It is hoped that health workers can increase public knowledge, especially pregnant women, about food sources high in iron so that they can prevent and reduce the incidence of pregnancy anemia.
