摘要

目的:本研究旨在评估在埃塞俄比亚西北部贡达尔大学转诊医院门诊就诊的老年人口贫血程度及其相关因素。方法:对2013年5月在贡达尔北部贡达尔镇的老年患者进行横断面研究。随机抽取200名老年人群参与研究。汇总统计数据以表格和图的形式呈现。采用双变量和多变量二元逻辑回归来确定相关因素。P值< 0.05为有统计学意义。结果:研究参与者的年龄中位数为65岁(四分位间距(IQR): 8岁)。老年患者贫血患病率为54.5% (n = 109),其中男性占61.5% (n = 67)。以轻度贫血为主,占55.96% (n = 61)。红细胞沉降率升高的老年患者(AOR = 9.04, 95% CI: 4.2-19.7)和素食者(AOR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.03-4.71)发生贫血的风险较高。结论:老年人群贫血程度较高。轻度贫血是主要类型。素食者和红细胞沉降率升高的老年人更容易发生贫血。因此,贫血的早期诊断和管理对于预防老年疾病的不良后果至关重要。

Magnitude of Anemia in Geriatric Population Visiting Outpatient Department at the University of Gondar Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: Implication for Community-Based Screening.

Magnitude of Anemia in Geriatric Population Visiting Outpatient Department at the University of Gondar Referral Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: Implication for Community-Based Screening.

Objective: This study is aimed at assessing the magnitude and its associated factors of anemia in geriatric population visiting outpatient department at the University of Gondar referral hospital, northwest Ethiopia.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among elder patients in Gondar town, North Gondar District, in May 2013. A total of 200 randomly selected geriatric population participated in the study. Summary statistics were computed and presented in tables and figure. Both bivariate and multivariable binary logistic regression were fitted to identify associated factors. A P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Result: The median age of the study participants was 65 years (Interquartile range (IQR): 8 years). The prevalence of anemia in the geriatric patients was 54.5% (n = 109), of which 61.5% (n = 67) were males. Mild type anemia was predominant, 55.96% (n = 61). Geriatric patients with an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (AOR = 9.04, 95% CI: 4.2-19.7) and who are vegetarians (AOR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.03-4.71) were at high risk of developing anemia.

Conclusion: The magnitude of anemia was high in geriatrics. Mild anemia was the predominant type. Vegetarians and geriatrics with elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate were more likely to develop anemia. Hence, early diagnosis and management of anemia have paramount importance to prevent adverse outcomes in geriatrics.
