The predictive value of precipitating factors on clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with decompensated heart failure: insights from the Egyptian cohort in the European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure long-term registry. Egypt Heart J 2023; 75:16. [PMID: 36884155 PMCID: PMC9995627 DOI: 10.1186/s43044-023-00342-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the frequency of precipitating factors for acute heart failure (AHF) is important (either new-onset heart failure [NOHF] or worsening heart failure [WHF]), as this can guide strategies for prevention and treatment. Most data come only from Western Europe and North America; nevertheless, geographic differences do exist. We set out to study the prevalence of precipitating factors of AHF and their connection to patient characteristics and in-hospital and long-term mortality in patients from Egypt hospitalized for decompensated HF. Using the ESC-HF-LT Registry which is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of patients confessed to cardiology centers in the nations of Europe and the Mediterranean, patients presenting with AHF were recruited from 20 centers all over Egypt. Enrolling physicians were requested to report possible precipitants from among several predefined reasons. RESULTS We included 1515 patients (mean age 60 ± 12 years, 69% males). The mean LVEF was 38 ± 11%. Seventy-seven percent of the total population had HFrEF, 9.8% had HFmrEF, and 13.3% had HFpEF. The commonly reported precipitating factors for AHF hospitalization among study population were as follows (in decreasing order of frequency): infection in 30.3% of patients, acute coronary syndrome/myocardial ischemia (ACS/MI) in 26%, anemia in 24.3%, uncontrolled hypertension in 24.2%, atrial fibrillation (AF) in 18.3%, renal dysfunction in 14.6%, and non-compliance in 6.5% of patients. HFpEF patients had significantly higher rates of AF, uncontrolled hypertension, and anemia as precipitants for acute decompensation. ACS/MI were significantly more frequent in patients with HFmrEF. WHF patients had significantly higher rates of infection and non-compliance, whereas new-onset HF patients showed significantly higher rates of ACS/MI and uncontrolled hypertension. One-year follow-up revealed that patients with HFrEF had a significantly higher rate of mortality compared to patients with HFmrEF and HFpEF (28.3%, 19.5, and 19.4%, P = 0.004). Patients with WHF had a significantly higher rates of 1-year mortality when compared to those with NOHF (30.0% vs. 20.3%, P < 0.001). Renal dysfunction, anemia, and infection were independently connected to worse long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS Precipitating factors of AHF are frequent and substantially influence outcomes after hospitalization. They should be considered goals for avoiding AHF hospitalization and depicting those at highest risk for short-term mortality.

A Review of the Risk Factors for Iron Deficiency Anaemia among Adolescents in Developing Countries. Anemia 2023; 2023:6406286. [PMID: 36636253 PMCID: PMC9831712 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6406286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Identifying the root causes of iron deficiency anaemia is a prerequisite for effective management and prevention in adolescents. This systematic review assessed risk factors of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents living in developing countries. Method Electronic databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS were comprehensively searched for studies published between 1990 and 2020 that involved risk factors of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents living in developing countries. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the American Dietetic Association Quality Criteria Checklist. Results A total of 2,252 publications were reviewed, and only fifteen cross-sectional studies were eligible for inclusion, eight of which focused on female adolescents and seven on both genders. Direct risk factors contributing to anaemia among adolescents included food intake practices (n = 10 studies), female adolescents (n = 8 studies), menstruation (n = 5 studies), and parasitic infection (n = 6 studies). Indirect risk factors found to be associated with anaemia among adolescents included low educational status (n = 4 studies) and low socioeconomic status (n = 3 studies). All fifteen studies were of good quality. Conclusion Food intake practices, female adolescents, menstruation, parasitic infection, and low educational status were the leading risk factors of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescents. Further research should concentrate on assessing the effectiveness and efficacy of existing interventions aimed at preventing iron deficiency among vulnerable groups in developing countries.

Abstract
Background Although anemia is one of the leading causes of the global burden of disease, information about its prevalence in Russia is mostly missing. We therefore assessed its prevalence and associated factors in a Russian population. Methods The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study included 5899 (80.5%) out of 7328 eligible individuals (mean age:59.0 ± 10.7 years;range:40–94 years) who underwent a standardized interview and detailed general examination. The definition of anemia was based on the hemoglobin concentration (definition #1:hemoglobin concentration < 140 g/L in men,< 130 g/L in women; definition #2:hemoglobin concentration < 130 g/L in men,< 120 g/L in women [World Health Organization definition]). Results Higher hemoglobin concentration (mean:142.6 ± 14.8 g/L; range:80-171 g/L) was associated (multivariable analysis) with male gender (P < 0.001; standardized regression coefficient beta:-0.20), higher waist-hip circumference ratio (P < 0.001;beta:0.05), higher prevalence of car ownership (P < 0.001;beta:0.05), higher blood concentrations of bilirubin (P < 0.001;beta:0.05) and triglycerides (P < 0.001;beta:0.06), lower erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P < 0.001;beta:-0.32), and shorter blood clotting time (P < 0.001;beta:-0.39). Using definition #1 and #2, anemia was detected in 1385 individuals (23.6%;95% confidence interval CI)CI:22.5,24.7) and in 453 individuals (7.7%;95%CI:7.0,8.4), respectively. Prevalence of moderate anemia (hemoglobin concenttration:110 g/L-80 g/L), detected in 165 individuals (2.8%;95%CI:2.4,3.2), increased with younger age (P = 0.008;odds ratio (OR):0.98;95%CI:0.96,0.99), female gender (P < 0.001;OR:2.52;95%CI:1.47,4.33), higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P < 0.001;OR:1.08;95%CI:1.06,1.09), longer blood clotting time (P < 0.001;OR:8.56;95%CI:5.68,12.9), and marginally significantly, with a lower waist-hip circumference ratio (P = 0.058;OR:0.13;95%CI:0.02,1.07). In women, it was significantly (P < 0.001) higher before menopause (8.8%;95%CI:6.4,11.1) than after menopause (3.5%;95%CI:2.8,4.3). Conclusions In this Russian population as compared to populations from countries with a similar socio-demographic index, anemia prevalence was relatively low. As in other populations, higher anemia prevalence was strongly and inversely associated with menopause, and to a minor degree, with lower waist-hip circumference ratio and lower socio-economic background.

EL-Adawy EH, Zahran FE, Shaker GA, Seleem A. Vitamin D Status in Egyptian Adolescent Females with Iron Deficiency Anemia and Its Correlation with Serum Iron Indices. Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets 2019; 19:519-525. [DOI: 10.2174/1871530318666181029160242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2018] [Revised: 09/25/2018] [Accepted: 09/29/2018] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Background:
In Egypt, it seems that adolescent girls are a candidate for Vitamin D Deficiency
(VDD), mostly due to inadequate sun exposure as a result of the culture and social dress codes
and dietary factors. Currently, there is growing evidence that VDD is associated with Iron Deficiency
Anemia (IDA).
Aim:
To investigate the frequency of VDD in adolescent females with IDA in comparison to healthy
control and demonstrate whether VD level was correlated with serum iron indices.
Subjects and Methods:
Forty adolescent females with known cases of IDA (group 1) and 30 healthy
females matched for age as a control (group 2) were selected. We compared the differences between
the two groups to determine the degree of VD level; where VDD was defined as 25-hydroxyvitamin D
[25(OH)D] ≤20 ng/mL, vitamin D insufficiency (VDI) as 25(OH) D of 20-30 ng/mL, and vitamin D
sufficiency (VDS) as 25(OH)D >30 ng/mL. Body mass index (BMI), complete blood count (CBC),
serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), serum ferritin, serum creatinine, ionized calcium and
25(OH)D were measured for all participants.
Results:
We found that subnormal vitamin D (VDD and VDI) was more frequent in the IDA group
(75%) than control (40%), (p = 0.025); where 19 adolescent female patients (47.5%) were VDD, 11
(27.5%) were VDI and 10 (25%) were VDS, while in the control group, VDD was present in 4 (20%),
VDI in 4 (20%) and VDS in 12 (60%) respectively. There was not any significant correlation between
serum VD and serum iron indices (r =0.168, p < 0.05) and Hb (r = 0.360, p < 0.001). There was no
significant difference in serum hemoglobin level between IDA patients with subnormal VD and those
with VDS. The mean level of serum 25(OH) D was significantly lower in winter months than summer
in both groups; (16.87 vs. 31.57 mg/dL, p < 0.001) and (31.9 vs. 35.04 mg/dL, p < 0.001) respectively.
BMI, Iron, TIBC and seasonal variation were not predictors of 25(OH) D levels in adolescent girls
with IDA.
Conclusion:
VDD has a higher frequency in Egyptian adolescent females with IDA than healthy control.
However, vitamin D levels were not significantly correlated with iron indices. Our result might
direct the attention for measuring vitamin D level in patients with IDA with the possibility of VD supplementation
with iron.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common movement disorder that has a variable prevalence and impact reported from different countries and specific populations. The current study validated an Arabic version of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) rating scale (IRLS) and investigated the prevalence and impact of RLS in medical students at Ain Shams University in Cairo. METHODS Translation of IRLS was done according to standard recognized guidelines provided by the publisher. A total of 389 medical students (217 female and 172 male) participated in the study and answered four questions to detect RLS as proposed by the IRLSSG. Subjects who answered positively the first three questions were recruited for face-to-face interview to exclude RLS mimics and to answer the IRLS. RESULTS A total of 46 subjects (11.8%; 27 female and 19 male) met the four criteria for RLS. Of these, 39 subjects (10%) had idiopathic RLS. Five subjects (1.3%) and two subjects (0.5%) reported association with history of anemia and diabetes mellitus respectively. Their mean total IRLS score was 16.33 ± 5.3, with moderate severity (11.62 ± 3.9) and low impact (3.1 ± 1.8). The prevalence of individuals who had two or more episodes of RLS of at least moderate severity per week was 5.9%. CONCLUSION In this specific population of Egyptian medical students, a within-average prevalence of RLS was found with low impact on quality of life similar to worldwide reported populations. RLS sufferers were of high prevalence among this cohort. The Arabic version of IRLS is reliable and valid for further research in Arabic countries.

Abstract
Aims Our aim is to describe the clinical characteristics and management of patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (HHF) and ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in Egypt and compare them with heart failure (HF) patients from other countries in the European Society of Cardiology‐Heart Failure (ESC‐HF) registry. Methods and results The ESC‐HF Long‐term Registry is a prospective, multi‐centre, observational study of patients presenting to cardiology centres in member countries of the ESC. From April 2011 to February 2014, a total of 2145 patients with HF were recruited from 20 centres all over Egypt. Of these patients, 1475 (68.8%) were hospitalized with HHF, while 670 (31.2%) had CHF. Less than one‐third (32.1%) of all patients were females. HHF patients {median age of 61 years [interquartile range (IQR), 53–69]} were older than CHF patients [median age of 57 years (IQR,46‐64)]; P < 0.0001. They had more diabetes mellitus (45.4% vs. 31.8%; P < 0.0001). Left ventricular ejection fraction > 45% was present in 22% of HHF vs. 25.6% of CHF (P = 0.17). Atrial fibrillation existed in about a quarter of all patients (24.5%). Ischaemic heart disease was the main cause of HF in Egyptian patients. All‐cause in‐hospital mortality was 5%. Egyptian patients presented at a much earlier age than in other regions in the registry. They had more diabetes mellitus. Atrial fibrillation prevalence was remarkably lower. Other co‐morbidities (renal dysfunction, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease) occurred less frequently. Conclusion Patients in the Egyptian cohort exhibited distinct features from HF patients in other countries in the ESC‐HF Long‐term Registry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of anaemia in Africa is the highest in the world. Especially women are at risk because of blood loss during menstruation and increased iron requirements during pregnancy. This study examined determinants of the haemoglobin (Hb) level of African women at individual/household, cluster, district, and national level. Special attention was paid to socioeconomic factors and the presence of health facilities. METHODS Data were derived from Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2003 and 2010 in 21 African countries. We included all women aged 15-49 who participated in a women's survey and had a Hb measurement. Multilevel models were used to examine the influence of various factors at different hierarchical levels simultaneously. RESULTS 104 899 women were included in the study, of which 23.1% were anaemic (Hb<110 g/L). Socioeconomic factors were strongly related to the Hb level of women. Wealth, education, having a job, occupation of the partner, presence of a toilet facility, context educational level and preventive health measures were positively associated with the Hb level. Interaction analysis indicated that socioeconomic differences in the Hb level of women were reduced by the presence of health facilities. CONCLUSIONS Interventions aimed at improving the Hb level of African women should take socioeconomic and contextual aspects into account. Increasing availability of health facilities might be a tool for reducing socioeconomic differences.

Abstract
In Palestine, there is a little information about nutrition of adolescents compared to other age groups. This study was designed to assess the nutritional status of Palestinian school-aged children (11-16 years) in East Jerusalem during 2002-03. A school-based cross-sectional study targeted randomly 313 adolescents from public and private schools. A previously validated and reliable questionnaire was administered through interviews that included anthropometric and hemoglobin measurements, 24-h dietary intake recall and physical activity questionnaire. It was found that being overweight (24.3%) or obese (9.9%) coexisted with being underweight (4.8%) and/or anemic (23.3%). Only 22.4% of the study subject had physical activity for ≥5 days a week with boys being more physically active than girls (p < 0.01). Inadequate energy intake had 55.66% of boys and 64.81% of girls; inadequate protein intake was reported by 15.07% of boys and 43.08% of girls. The majority of them met <80% of the recommended daily allowances for most micronutrients. The whole sample and especially boys consumed more total, saturated fat, less monounsaturated fat and carbohydrates than what is advised. Obese and overweight adolescents had lower energy intake (p < 0.05) and a lower trend in being physically active than normal weight counterparts. School health education programs targeted at adolescents and parents need to be developed as part of overweight-obesity, malnutrition and anemia prevention.
