Prevalence and Treatment Patterns of Anaemia in Individuals With Chronic Kidney Disease Across Asia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Anaemia is a significant complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, its prevalence and treatment patterns in Asia are poorly understood. We sought to quantify prevalence of anaemia and its treatment in people with CKD across the region.

Methods

MEDLINE and Embase (inception to 2023) were systematically searched for observational studies of adults with CKD conducted in Asia that reported the prevalence of anaemia or its treatment. Additional relevant unpublished data were obtained from national experts. Summary estimates of the prevalence of anaemia and its treatment were determined using a random-effects meta-analysis according to country and study-specific CKD inclusion criteria.

Results

Eighty-six studies from 10 Asian countries reported data on 1 34
