Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Anaemia is an important comorbidity common in patients with heart failure and is associated with poor clinical status and worse outcomes. In Nepal few studies have evaluated anaemia amongst patients suffering from heart failure. We intended to find out the prevalence of anaemia in patients with heart failure in a tertiary care centre.

METHODS

This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among patients of heart failure presenting to tertiary care hospital in eastern Nepal from April 2017 to January 2018. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of a tertiary care centre (reference number: IRC/0842/016). Using the convenience sampling method, 100 patients were enrolled in the study. Blood samples from the patients were taken for haemoglobin and serum iron studies. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 11. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated, with frequency and percentage.

RESULTS

Among 100 patients with heart failure, 82 (82%) (74.47-89.53 at 95% Confidence Interval) had anaemia. Mean haemoglobin level of the study population was 10.40±2.73 g/dl. Fifty four (54%) of patients had iron deficiency status irrespective of presence or absence of anaemia.

CONCLUSIONS

Prevalence of anaemia among patients of heart failure in our study was found to be higher than various other homologous international studies.

摘要

简介

贫血是心力衰竭患者常见的重要合并症，与较差的临床状况和较差的预后相关。在尼泊尔，很少有研究评估心力衰竭患者的贫血情况。我们旨在找出三级保健中心心力衰竭患者贫血的患病率。

方法

这是一项在 2017 年 4 月至 2018 年 1 月期间在尼泊尔东部三级保健医院就诊的心力衰竭患者中进行的描述性横断面研究。已从一家三级保健中心的机构审查委员会（参考编号：IRC/0842/016）获得伦理批准。使用便利抽样法，共招募了 100 名心力衰竭患者。从患者中抽取血液样本进行血红蛋白和血清铁研究。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）第 11 版分析数据，计算 95%置信区间的点估计值，并计算频率和百分比。
