Abstract:
Hospital-acquired anemia(HAA)refers to the new onset of anemia in patients who were not anemic at the time of admission.It is particularly prevalent among elderly hospitalized patients, especially those in critical care settings.This type of anemia is not directly attributable to the patient's original disease; rather, it arises from a combination of factors encountered during the hospital stay, which can lead to various adverse clinical outcomes.This article reviews the definition, epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, prevention, and management of hospital-acquired anemia, aiming to raise awareness and enhance the management skills of healthcare professionals in geriatric care, thereby improving the prognosis for elderly hospitalized patients.
