Key Points

The aim is to measure the prevalence of microcytosis and analyze types of anemia among pediatric age groups.
Conducted an observational study from January 2022 to April 2023.
Analyzed complete blood count reports for pediatric patients aged from day one to 18 years.
Collected data on age, gender, and RBC parameters including hemoglobin, RDW, and MCV.
Applied chi-square test for statistical analysis of microcytosis and anemia patterns.
Reviewed 1994 complete blood count reports for pediatric patients; 46.4% were female.
Microcytosis was identified in 1228 patients (61.6% of the total sample).
Among those with microcytosis, 698 (56.8%) were anemic.
Neonates showed the highest prevalence of microcytosis.
