Abstract
Objective: The main objective of the present study is identifying to the incidence and prevalence of anaemia in outdoor patients of Chhattisgarh.
Research Design: The current study was designed to the prospective observational cohort study.
Method: Diagnosis of the anaemia was made on the basis of various clinical findings (symptoms and sign) as well as mandatory and/or optional laboratorial investigation done in primary screenings.
Sample: The present work was carried out in patients who visited the department of general medicine at Apollo hospital Bilaspur CG from 1-1-2010 to 30-6-2010. Total of 288 patients were visited during the six month of the study period, while 96 were fulfilling the inclusion criteria of study.

Prevalence of moderate anaemia is higher 20(38.46%) among the severe and mild anaemic condition in outdoor male patients. moderate anaemic female patients is higher 18(40.90%) than the other severe and mild anaemia. The prevalence of anaemia according to MCV is higher among the male patients than the female patients, male were 52(54.16%) and female were 44(45.83%).
Conclusion: Findings of the current study we concluded that the incidence and prevalence of moderate anaemia is higher than the severe and mild anaemia, normocytic of anaemia was the most common type of anaemia than the microcytic and macrocytic anaemia, hemolytic anaemia was the common type of anaemia of chronic disease in outdoor patients.
