This clinical audit aims to assess the prevalence and severity of anaemia among children under five years attending Nubia Health Center and to explore its association with nutritional status. Data will be obtained from routinely collected clinical, nutritional and laboratory records. The findings will be used to identify areas for improvement and support evidence-based clinical and public health interventions at the health center.

All collected data will be kept confidential and accessed only by authorized members of the study team. Participants will be assigned study codes, and personally identifiable information will not be included in the analysis or any reports. Data will be stored securely and used for the purposes of the clinical audit, quality improvement, and potential scientific publication of aggregated findings, subject to the required ethical and institutional approvals.

The study involves minimal risk. The main potential risk is loss of confidentiality. This will be minimized through secure data storage, restricted access, and removal of personally identifiable information from the audit dataset whenever possible.

Participants may benefit indirectly from improved understanding of anaemia and nutritional problems among children attending the health center. The findings may help improve clinical practice, early identification of anaemia, nutritional assessment, and future health interventions.
