Summary

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common condition often linked to gastrointestinal blood loss, making endoscopic evaluation essential for identifying underlying causes. This study aimed to assess the endoscopic findings in patients presenting with IDA in Red Sea State, Sudan. Understanding the prevalence and types of gastrointestinal lesions among these patients can aid in early diagnosis and management, reducing associated morbidity and mortality. By focusing on patients undergoing endoscopic evaluation, this study provides valuable insights into the burden of gastrointestinal pathologies contributing to IDA in the region.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in the Endoscopy Unit at Alkaleej Medical Complex - Portsudan. Adults aged ≥18 years with IDA undergoing endoscopic evaluation were included, excluding those unwilling participation or with incomplete data. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and medical records, covering demographics, medical history, clinical presentation, and endoscopic findings. SPSS version 26 - 2018, was used for analysis, applying descriptive statistics and chi-square tests to assess associations. Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was secured from all participants.
