“…18 In present study, maximum non-haematological carcinoma patients had microcytic and hypochromic anaemia.Our findings corresponds to the study done by various other authors on different nonhaematological carcinoma. 22,23 In addition,a cohort study of patients aged e 40 years using UK primary care electronic patient records found that microcytosis is a predictor of underlying cancer, especially in colorectal, lung, breast, kidney and stomach carcinoma. However, in contrast to our study findings, several studies found normocytic normochromic anaemia is the most prevalent type in non-haematogical carcinoma patients, 11,23 which might be due to the variation in cancer types, disease stage, and treatment modalities.…”

Background: Anaemia is a frequent complication in cancer patients and has been linked to a reduction in quality of life as well as a poor prognosis. Considering the paucity of dataregarding anaemia in non-haematological carcinoma in developing countries, this studyaimed to evaluate the pattern of anaemia in non-haematological carcinoma patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted over 56 adult anaemic patients of nonhaematological carcinoma inDhaka Medical College Hospital, from 1st of September 2017 to 1stdecember 2017.After getting written informed consent, a detailed history, clinical examination and thorough investigation were carried out in each patient. All the methods in the present study were carried out following the ethical guidelines of the 1975 Declaration of Helsinki.Data were recorded in separated case record form and analyzed by IBM SPSS version 26. Results: The majority of the study participants were male (62.5%), aged >50 years (64.3%), and from rural areas (60.7%). Metastasis affected 50% of the research participants, and colorectal carcinoma (17.9%) was the most common type of non-haematological carcinoma. The majority of patients had moderate to severe (73.2%), hypochromic (62.5%), and microcytic (62.5%) anemia. In contrast to patients without colorectal cancer, those who had it were more likely to get severe anemia (p=0.001). In patients with metastasis, the likelihood of having hemoglobin below 10 g/dL was 11.27 times higher than in patients without metastasis (COR = 11.27; 95% CI 2.23-56.86). Conclusion: Maximum anaemic non-haematogical patients had haemoglobin <10 g/dL with microcytosis and hypochromia. Bangladesh J Medicine 2023; 34(3): 192-198

“…The QOL of people with cancer can be enhanced by a number of elements, such as family support, financial stability, and belief in healing (13). Recent research concluded that HRQOL is affected by anaemia ( 14,15,16 ) , fatigue (17,18) . In addition, recent research indicated that covid-19 diminished HRQOL negatively ( 19,20).…”

Over the past few decades, there has been a increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, live with a large number of people chronic diseases that may adversely affect them quality of life. The goal of the current work is to To investigate quality of life, particularly health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with chronic diseases. HRQOL is a multidimensional structure It consists of at least three large domains − physical, mental and social functioning − affected by disease and/or treat. HRQoL usually starts with chronically ill and often impaired most. In addition, the following factors Also correlated with good and bad HRQoL Discussed as HRQoL assessment.
