Overview

Needs assessment reveals varying practices in management of pediatric iron deficiency anemia, indicating a need for clinical pathways.

Key Points

  • Assess clinical practice variation and provider comfort in managing pediatric iron deficiency anemia in acute care.
  • Distributed an online survey to various healthcare providers in pediatric settings.
  • Included questions on transfusion/admission thresholds and case-based scenarios for anemia.
  • Evaluated comfort with anemia management aspects using Likert-scale items.
  • 63% of providers identified specific hemoglobin values as transfusion triggers.
  • Varying admission thresholds for anemia reported, with most common being hemoglobin <7g/dL.
  • Significant variations in management strategies and comfort with IV iron therapy.
