Article Synopsis
- Anemia is prevalent in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, affecting around 23% of the studied group, and is linked to higher mortality rates post-discharge.
- The study was conducted in a medical setting over a year, with a focus on understanding the relationship between anemia and various factors such as age, sex, and smoking status in COPD patients.
- Results show that older age groups are more likely to suffer from anemia, while current smokers are less likely, highlighting the need for further research on whether treating anemia could improve outcomes for COPD patients.

Ischemic retinopathy characterized by neovascularization could result from several diseases such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion. However, ocular ischemic conditions caused by polycythemia have rarely been described. We report the first case of polycythemia-related proliferative ischemic retinopathy in a 41-year-old male heavy smoker who had ocular ischemic condition due to secondary polycythemia.
