Prevalence, sub-types, and associated factors of anemia among inpatients at a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Tanzania: a cross-sectional study
Comprehensive care strategies addressing anemia among psychiatric inpatients are crucial, extending beyond psychiatric symptoms to address factors related to prolonged admission, such as nutritional considerations. It is recommended that regular screening for anemia be implemented among psychiatric inpatients and efforts should be made to investigate and address the underlying causes of anemia among this population.
