Hospital morbidity by feriprive anemia, in Romania

Abstract

Anemia due to iron deficiency can remain undiagnosed for years because of symptoms that are either ignored and considered trivial or are attributed to other conditions. Iron deficiency anemia is not a disease in itself, but a symptom in other diseases, and detecting iron deficiency can lead to preventive or therapeutic behaviors that can streamline the clinical management of these diseases..

The most frequent pattern for the patient with FA hospitalized in the Romanian hospitals include the following most common characteristics (chi squared; p-value <0.05): women, aged in the age category 65-75 years, retired, with mandatory health insurance, admitted in hospital without admission letter, not as emergency case.

Concerns in this area should aim to develop correct behaviors for effective operation within clinical protocols, differentiated according to the pathological condition, but also by age categories.
