Program Overview: Anemia is common in the elderly population and is the cause of significant morbidity and mortality. While two-thirds of geriatric anemia cases can be attributed to a nutritional deficiency or to chronic disease, a staggering one-third of cases are unidentified and may be due to a more ominous underlying condition such as bone marrow failure or hematologic malignancy. Primary care practitioners need to be better aware of the etiology and workup of geriatric anemia in order to improve outcomes to provide optimal management of these patients including who and when to refer. This activity is designed to guide clinicians through the differential diagnosis of geriatric anemia, specifically using mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW), which are part of the standard complete blood count, to narrow differential diagnosis and guide subsequent evaluation.

diagnosis of geriatric anemia, specifically using mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW), which are part of the standard complete blood count, to narrow differential diagnosis and guide subsequent evaluation. Learning Objectives: After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: • Differentiate among the etiological causes of anemia seen in geriatric patients • Develop appropriate workup of elderly patients diagnosed with symptomatic anemia or anemia detected by incidental blood testing • Incorporate strategies to manage elderly patients with anemia due to iron deficiency, nutritional deficiency or chronic disease, and determine when it is appropriate to refer to a hematologist or gastroenterologist for further evaluation. Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
