Prevalence of anemia and associated factors in patients with heart failure admitted to Jimma university medical center.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAnemia is common among adults with heart failure and is linked to increased risks of illness, decreased physical abilities, lower quality of life, more hospital visits, and higher mortality rates. In Ethiopia, about 23% of reproductive-age women and 18% of adult men suffer from anemia. However, data is lacking about its prevalence and associated factors in admitted heart failure patients in our setup.
objectivesTo determine the prevalence of anemia and associated factors in heart failure patients who were admitted to the emergency and medical ward at Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among all heart failure patients admitted to Jimma University Medical Centre from September 1, 2023, to February 30, 2024. A complete blood count was done for these patients. The demographic data and clinical characteristics of study participants were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data was collected on patients' admission and discharge and then data was cleared and entered into a computer using SPSS software version 26. Logistic regression was conducted to declare statistically significant variables with anemia at p-value < 0.05 with 95% CI of Adjusted odds ratio.
resultsA total of 269 participants were involved in the analysis with a mean age of 50.39 ± 18.08 years. The prevalence of anemia among patients with heart failure was 49.8% (43.7-55.9%). Anemia was statistically significant with hypokalaemia: AOR%CI; 3.88(1.6-9.43), creatinine level: AOR%CI; 3.58(1.74-7.38), re-admission: AOR%CI; 3.7(1.63-8.39), and length of hospital stay AOR%CI; 4.11(2.18-7.78).
conclusionIn the current study, nearly half of admitted heart failure patients had anemia, which is associated with hypokalaemia, high creatinine level, readmission, and a longer duration of hospital stay. There was a high prevalence and clinical impact of anemia heart failure patients in our study.
