- Aim and Objectives: To study and assess the pattern of anemia, utilization pattern of drugs, its management and compliance with the treatment. Materials and Methods: In a prospective study spanning six months, the data of 100 patients was collected from In-Patient department of the General Medicine Department of Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad. Results: About 29.4% of the anemic patients were from the age group 21-30 years while 23.5% belonged to the age group 31-40 years. The cases of anemia in the females (36.2%) were found to be higher than in males (31.8%). The body mass index of each anemic patient showed that 25.4% of the anemic patients were under-weight according to their BMI. Among all the co morbid conditions, hepatic conditions were most prevalent (23.5%) among anemic patients. The female medical history showed 39.6% of females with a history of menorrhagia. 10.7% of the total cases of anemia were drug induced making flouroquinolones with the highest number of cases of drug induced anemia. More than half of the cases were of severe anemia (62.7%). About 52.7% of the cases included blood transfusion to treat the anemia. Conclusion: Females were found to be the most prevalent group of patients to have developed anemia with some underlying gynecological and obstetric history. The in patients mostly had a severe form of anemia and treatment was done through blood transfusion and intravenous supplies. The clinical manifestations among all the subjects vary widely and an in depth analysis of each case of anemia will give more detailed information on the treatment pattern and other parameters associated.
