Anemia affects 106 of 4928 patients in Norway. Iron deficiency, especially in pregnancy, is the most common cause, followed by bleeding and chronic diseases.

Area of Science:

  • General Practice
  • Internal Medicine
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Anemia is a common condition encountered in primary care settings.
  • Understanding the etiological profile of anemia in a specific population is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and causes of anemia in adult patients attending urban general practice in Mid-Norway.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 4928 consecutive general practice consultations.
  • Identification of patients with anemia and classification of etiological factors.

Main Results:

  • Anemia was diagnosed in 106 patients (2.15%).
  • The primary causes identified were iron deficiency in pregnancy (48%), iron deficiency secondary to bleeding (21%), and anemia of chronic diseases (17%).

  • Most cases were managed in primary care, with a small proportion referred to specialists.

    • Conclusions:

    • Iron deficiency, particularly related to pregnancy and bleeding, is the predominant cause of anemia in this Norwegian general practice cohort.
    • General practitioners play a significant role in the diagnosis and management of anemia.
