Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals 22.9% anemia prevalence in Ethiopian HIV patients, indicating significant associations with education, weight, and ART duration.

Key Points

  • Anemia affects 22.9% of HIV patients in Ethiopian hospitals, with 14.6% experiencing mild anemia.
  • Factors significantly linked to anemia include low education level, being underweight, and increased viral load.
  • A logistic regression model identified key socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with anemia.
  • Regular monitoring of hemoglobin levels is crucial for patients with specific risk factors, including ART duration.
