Anaemia is common in the elderly and is associated with an increased risk of physical, functional, and cognitive impairment, hospitalisation and mortality. Although it is unknown whether anaemia is a causal factor or a subrogated marker of worse health status, its correction can improve the ...
In the elderly this may result in poor attendance and inappropriate endoscopic investigations in high-risk patients.MethodsWe looked at one year9s experience of a nurse-led one-stop IDA service which offered an initial clinic visit to discuss the most appropriate mode of investigation in patients ...
Background: The geriatric population is increasing globally, and anaemia in the elderly is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The Anaemia in Elderly study (ANiE study) aimed to assess the prevalence, associations and severity of anaemia in elderly patients attending the outpatient clinic...
Underlying malignancy was diagnosed in 5% of the total study population. Conclusion: Anaemia in elderly is often multifactorial. A basic workup can reveal the cause of anaemia in most patients. Iron deficiency anaemia is a readily correctible cause of anaemia that frequently results from blood ...
Recombinant human erythropoietin has revolutionised the treatment of anaemia associated with chronic renal failure, while its role in other anaemias is currently under investigation. Regular blood transfusion may be required for some elderly patients with chronic anaemia. However, the attendant risks of ...
In the elderly anaemic group, the dependency for daily activities that require physical effort was higher compared to the nonanaemic group. The MMSE score in the elderly anaemic group was lower than subjects who had normal haemoglobin levels. We conclude that anaemia may impair cognitive functions ...

Other causes of anaemia, such as myelodysplastic syndromes and chronic renal insufficiency, will become more and more common in the elderly because of the ageing of the population. Although erythropoietin analysis has no clear diagnostic value at the moment, it has become more and more obvious ...
