Why the study?
The study was conducted to explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of adult autoimmune hemolytic anemia to improve awareness and reduce misdiagnosis.
Design
Retrospective single-center study
Key result
The presence of secondary etiology (OR 54.306) and decreased hemoglobin levels were identified as independent risk factors for poor prognosis in adult autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

In adult patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, hemoglobin level and secondary etiology are independent risk factors for poor prognosis, and the disease presents with complex, non-specific symptoms leading to frequent misdiagnosis.
Xue et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (n=41). Secondary etiology vs. Primary etiology was evaluated on Poor prognosis (non-response to treatment, transfer, or death) (OR 54.306, 95% CI 2.263-1303.371, p=0.014). The presence of secondary etiology (OR 54.306) and decreased hemoglobin levels were identified as independent risk factors for poor prognosis in adult autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
