Documents included in this toolkit have been identified by members of the USAID Advancing Nutrition Anemia Task Force. The Anemia Task Force members are experts in fields of study related to various aspects of anemia - biology, its assessment, interventions to reduce its burden, and the enabling environment that influences anemia policies and programs. The included resources have been selected for their utility in understanding anemia and relevant to actions that can be taken to reduce it.
This toolkit will be updated on a rolling basis – for inquiries or suggestions for resources to add, please contact info@advancingnutrition.org.
Maternal Hemoglobin Concentrations Across Pregnancy and Maternal and Child Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Journal Article published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the associations of maternal hemoglobin concentrations with birth outcomes (low birth weight, preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age, stillbirth, and perinatal and neonatal mortality) and adverse maternal outcomes (postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, and blood transfusion). It accounts for the…
Effects of Hemoglobin Levels During Pregnancy on Adverse Maternal and Infant Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Systematic Review published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This descriptive study summarizes the evidence for the association between maternal hemoglobin concentrations and maternal or infant outcomes, evaluating it in a continuous manner.
Effects of Increased Hemoglobin on Child Growth, Development, and Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Systematic Review published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This systematic review and meta-analysis of iron intervention and observational studies explored the consequences of low hemoglobin concentration in children under age five years on growth, development, and chronic disease (functional outcomes) across the full range of hemoglobin values.
Variation in Hemoglobin Across the Life Cycle and Between Males and Females
Journal Article published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This narrative review of the literature identified recent studies reporting hemoglobin cutoffs in males and females in various life stages, to inform the development of normal reference ranges for hemoglobin.
Methods and Analyzers for Hemoglobin Measurement in Clinical Laboratories and Field Settings
Journal Article published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This comprehensive narrative review describes and compares methods and analyzers used to measure hemoglobin in clinical laboratories and field settings, and the factors that influencing the measurement of hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin Concentration and Anemia Diagnosis in Venous and Capillary Blood: Biological Basis and Policy Implications
Systematic Review published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
The narrative review systematically reviews sources of hemoglobin variability and the potential biological basis for differences in hemoglobin concentration between venous and capillary blood samples.
Reexamination of Hemoglobin Adjustments to Define Anemia: Altitude and Smoking
Journal Article published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This paper reexamines the associations between hemoglobin and altitude and/or smoking using 13 population-based surveys and 1 cohort study each conducted after 2000, to verify the recommended adjustments to hemoglobin concentration for altitude and/or smoking.
The Increase in Hemoglobin Concentration with Altitude Varies Among Human Populations
Journal Article published by Ann N Y Acad Sci in
This paper uses published data of residents living at different altitudes to examine there are differences in the reference values for hemoglobin among different regions of the world and among ethnic groups within a region.
