Implication

Cross-sectional study identifies iron profile predictors for iron-deficiency anemia in anemic patients, indicating clinical relevance.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify biochemical and statistical markers that predict iron-deficiency anemia in patients with normochromic normocytic anemia.
  • Cross-sectional observational study with 120 anemic patients visiting the outpatient clinic from May 2025 to November 2025.
  • Analyzed complete blood count, serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, and computed transferrin saturation.
  • Applied multivariate logistic regression to identify independent predictors of iron-deficiency anemia.
  • Patients with iron-deficiency anemia were significantly younger, predominantly women compared to those with normocytic anemia.
  • Iron profile parameters showed significant differences, with lower levels of ferritin, serum iron, and transferrin saturation in the IDA group, and higher total iron-binding capacity.
  • Independent predictors of IDA identified included ferritin, serum iron, TIBC, and transferrin saturation, with no significant value found in red blood cell indices.
