Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to anemia
What are the top hospitals conducting anemia research?
Anemia, a condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the body, is an ongoing concern for patients and healthcare providers alike. In the pursuit of effective treatments and advancements in understanding this condition, several hospitals have emerged as leaders in conducting clinical trials dedicated to anemia. Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati has a notable presence with eight active anemia trials and a total of 19 trials conducted over time. Since initiating their first recorded trial in 2004, they have been at the forefront of research concerning this debilitating condition.
Meanwhile, the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center located in Bethesda has also made significant contributions to furthering our understanding of anemia through clinical trials. With eight active trials currently underway and 14 completed studies to their name, they are driving innovation since their initial trial on anemia commenced back in 2001.
In Portland, Oregon Health & Science University plays its part with four active anemia trials while having previously explored this condition through eight additional investigations since recording their first trial on it during 2005; similarly making strides towards discovering new treatment options for those affected by anemia.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles joins the ranks with three ongoing trials focused on fighting against anemia while contributing insights from previously held eight experiments meant tackling similar cases since initial steps taken back during early days around till year elapsed untilin2006.
