Abstract

Despite numerous efforts, pediatric nutritional anemia remains one of the most serious health issues in developing countries. Severe nutritional anemia is associated with a number of modifiable risk factors, which can be overcome if the risk factors are accurately identified and addressed for different population groups. The purpose of this descriptive study is to focus on severe nutritional anemia in hospitalized children aged 1–5 years in a tertiary care center in Central India. Hospitalized children were enrolled in the study, and demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, and laboratory data, as well as clinical and laboratory images, were reviewed. For defining severe anemia, the World Health Organization cutoff value was used. Out of total 9850 children of 1–5 years of age group admitted in hospital for 2 years, 197 children had severe nutritional anemia, indicated the incidence of 2%. Lower socioeconomic status and malnutrition were significantly correlated to severe nutritional anemia.

印度中部住院儿童严重营养性贫血——描述性研究
尽管作出了许多努力,儿童营养性贫血仍然是发展中国家最严重的健康问题之一。严重营养性贫血与许多可改变的危险因素有关,如果准确识别并针对不同人群处理这些危险因素,就可以克服这些危险因素。本描述性研究的目的是集中在印度中部三级保健中心1-5岁住院儿童的严重营养性贫血。住院儿童被纳入研究,并对人口统计学、社会经济、临床和实验室数据以及临床和实验室图像进行了回顾。对于严重贫血的定义,使用了世界卫生组织的临界值。在住院2年的9850名1-5岁儿童中,197名儿童患有严重营养性贫血,发生率为2%。较低的社会经济地位和营养不良与严重的营养性贫血显著相关。
