Zusammenfassung: | Background: Anemia is common and serious factor which associated with increased mortality rates in critically ill patients with associated comorbidities.
Objective: to investigate the incidence of hospital acquired anemia along with the potential effects of cardiovascular, endocrine, and respiratory disorders as associated comorbidities in critically Ill patients.
Methodology: A total of 150 of hospitalized critically ill patients who were not anemic during admission were included in the study.
Results: 43.3 % of patients developed anemia by drop in their hemoglobin by 2.0 g/dL or more. The results showed that the incidence of hospital acquired anemia significantly increased in patients with cardiovascular, followed by those with endocrine and respiratory disorders. Hospital-acquired anemia is common in 43.3 % of hospitalized patients for one week.
Conclusion: The incidence of hospital-acquired anemia significantly associated with hospitalization period, the blood loss during withdrawing, and associated comorbidities. critically ill patients with longer hospitalization and those with associated comorbidities are at higher risk of developing Hospital-acquired anemia. |
