Mashup Score: 3Defining global thresholds for anaemia: a challenging mission - 3 month(s) ago
A fall in haemoglobin leads to a diagnosis of anaemia. This diagnosis has a wealth of implications both at population and individual levels, including giving those with a haemoglobin concentration below a set threshold the label of anaemia, with related consequences.1,2 In many instances, anaemia detection triggers treatment and prevention measures ranging from micronutrient supplementation to parenteral iron and, in critical circumstances, blood transfusion. Moreover, prevention and management of anaemia, particularly in children and women of reproductive age, are prioritised within the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), meaning policy makers and even politicians could be held to account for the high prevalence rates of anaemia.

Dr Eric Ohuma joins us to tell us about a study recently published in The Lancet Haematology on the association between maternal haemoglobin concentrations and maternal and neonatal outcomes.Read the full article:https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhae/article/PIIS2352-3026(23)00170-9/fulltext?dgcid=buzzsprout_icw_podcast_generic_lanhae

Our data suggests that the current WHO haemoglobin cutoffs are associated with reduced risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The current haemoglobin concentration cutoffs during pregnancy should not only consider thresholds for low haemoglobin concentrations that are associated with adverse outcomes but also define a threshold for high haemoglobin concentrations given the U-shaped relationship between haemoglobin concentration and adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes.

Mashup Score: 0Optimal haemoglobin concentration in pregnancy - 9 month(s) ago
Anaemia in pregnancy is common, affecting 37% of pregnancies worldwide.1 Both anaemia and its converse, high haemoglobin concentration, are associated with increased maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality; however, less is known about the ideal haemoglobin range for specific gestational ages. Eric O Ohuma and colleagues2 sought to address this knowledge gap by analysing the prospective, multinational, observational, longitudinal INTERBIO-21st fetal study to further our understanding of the relationship between maternal haemoglobin concentrations in pregnancy and risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Anaemia remains a substantial global health challenge, with persistent disparities according to age, sex, and geography. Estimates of cause-specific anaemia burden can be used to design locally relevant health interventions aimed at improving anaemia management and prevention.
