Overview

Retrospective cohort study examines IV iron use and outcomes in emergency department patients with anemia, highlighting clinical implications.

Key Points

This study aims to describe the usage of intravenous iron therapy and red blood cell transfusion patterns in emergency department patients with anemia.
Conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study from January 2019 to December 2021.
Included patients with hemoglobin levels ≤ 10 g/dL.
Compared baseline characteristics, transfusion practices, and clinical outcomes between IV iron recipients and non-recipients.
Only 2.7% of patients (89 out of 3340) received IV iron in the ED.
IV iron recipients had a higher incidence of gastrointestinal disorders (68.5% vs. 19.9%) and more ED transfusions (69.7% vs. 11.1%).
Median hospital length of stay was shorter for IV iron recipients (6.6 days) compared to non-recipients (9.7 days).
