Anemia and associated factors among women with cancer patients in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
The combined prevalence of anemia in female cancer patients was significant. Therefore, individuals displaying the aforementioned risk factors should be closely monitored. Preventive strategies are encompass optimizing nutritional status and addressing deficiencies in iron, folate, or vitamin B12. Healthcare providers properly align with the treatment protocols of cancer patients to effectively prevent complications arising from chemotherapy. Such alignment ensures a comprehensive approach to patient care, ultimately enhancing treatment outcomes and quality of life. The study is registered in the PROSPERO database under the number CRD42024569783.
