Abstract

Objectives: To identify the epidemiological profile of Iron Deficiency Anemia in the State of Maranhão between 2018 and 2022. Methodology: This is an epidemiological, retrospective and descriptive study based on data obtained from the Hospital Information System of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (SIH/DATASUS). Results: It was verified that there were 1,628 hospitalizations due to iron deficiency anemia in Maranhão between January 2018 and December 2022 and there were 15 deaths from this condition in that time period. In addition, it was possible to observe that the most affected age group was 30 to 39 years and 40 to 49 years. As for gender, females showed the highest number of affected patients with 59% of the total. Finally, a gradual increase in the incidence of this anemia was observed in the analyzed population between 2018 and 2022. Conclusion: iron deficiency anemia is prevalent in the population of the State of Maranhão, mainly in patients over 20 years of age, female and male. of brown ethnicity, with their hospitalizations more concentrated in the regions of Codó, São Luís and Pedreiras.
