Abstract
This study investigates the prevalence and impact of anemia among pediatric patients diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and congestive heart failure. Anemia is a common comorbidity in these patients, affecting approximately 64% of cases. The study evaluates the association between anemia and adverse outcomes, including hospitalizations due to heart failure and mortality rates. Despite the higher incidence of heart failure hospitalizations among patients with anemia, mortality rates do not show a significant increase. Age does not appear to significantly influence the prevalence or severity of anemia in this patient population. These findings underscore the importance of addressing anemia in pediatric patients with DCM and heart failure to mitigate adverse outcomes and improve overall patient care
