Filter by:This double-blinded clinical randomized trial with a 1:1 recruitment ratio between placebo and the active group will aim to investigate the effects of intravenously administered iron in non-anemic iron deficient patients on physical capacity, immunological cells and their function prior to surgery. A total of 134 patients with colorectalcancer will be included in the study. Study outline: After initial inclusion the patient will undergo baseline testing with cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), then followed by an infusion of a weight dependent dosage of iron(III)isomaltoside or placebo. Then at the closest possible time to the surgery the patient will have drawn bloodwork and be re-tested by (CPET). The patient will be followed after surgery with evaluation of several outcomes including quality of recovery and complications. Further, the effects of the intervention on the patients immune function will be evaluated by two different methods: 1) by changes in neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio between baseline and preoperative bloodwork and 2) by evaluation mRNA expression in the tumor specimen by the Nanostring pancancer immune panel
Anemia is a common health problem. Depending on a geographical region, anemia affects even 50% of population. Among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) anemia may affect as much as 66% of patients. Moreover, many patients develop anemia during the ICU stay. In general population the most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency (ID). The investigators lack information on the incidence of ID and anemia of inflammation (AI) with absolute ID (mixed type of anemia: AI + IDA) or functional ID (AI) in patients with sepsis or septic shock hospitalised in the ICU. Therefore, the aim of the study is to improve diagnosis of iron deficiency (ID) and anemia of inflammation (AI) with absolute ID (AI + IDA) or functional ID (AI) in patients with sepsis or septic shock. ID have negative effects on the body and is associated with impaired production of proteins responsible for transport of oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin) and oxygen storage (myoglobin), and impaired immune function. Development of anemia is associated with well documented complications: organ hypoxia, myocardial infarction, stroke, infection. Replenishment of iron at this early stage may potentially prevent IDA. It is advantageous to replenish iron stores in order to avoid these complications, especially in patients with sepsis or septic shock. In IDA red blood cell transfusion is not recommended as it leads to other numerous complications. Therefore the patients presenting with laboratory results suggesting ID will receive divided doses od parenteral iron. Monitoring of iron replenishment will be based on a new laboratory parameter- reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent.
This study is a prospective, open and non-interventionalclinical study. It is planned to enroll 240 patients with iron deficiency anemia caused by uterine fibroids and adenomyosis in 4 centers of obstetrics and gynecology in China.All patients who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study received routine blood tests, serum ferritin, serum iron and total iron binding ability tests and clinical follow-up. All patients were given 15ml oral protein iron succinate solution (Fiapril) in the morning and evening each day.Blood routine examinations (Hb, reticulocytes, RBC, HCT), serum ferritin, serum iron and total iron binding ability were detected at the 1st, 4th, 8th and 12th weeks of the study to observe the change trend of their own indicators.Symptom self-assessment tables were collected to assess the improvement rate of clinical symptoms including dizziness, fatigue, chest tightness and palpitations, and to record the incidence of adverse reactions (mainly gastrointestinal reactions).
The aim of the study is to analyze the implementation of the 2018 updated ESMO Guideline in patients with tumor diseases as well as the corre-sponding recommendations of the Onkopedia Guideline and the S3 Guide-line Supportive Therapy in routine clinical practice in Germany. To this end, a nationwide, representative, retrospective patient documen-tation will be conducted to observe the current practice of anemia man-agement in hospitals and among office-based physicians.
Transfusion management improvement programs, generally known as patient blood management (PBM) programs, are based on a set of perioperative measures aimed at improving clinical outcomes by avoiding unnecessary exposure to blood components. In a recent series of liver transplants (LT) performed in Spanish centers belonging to the Spanish Liver Transplant Society, despite optimal hemostasis management and preservation of the vena cava, around 20% of patients required massive transfusion (considered as the administration of 6 or more red blood cell concentrates intraoperatively). In addition, 63% of the patients were transfused with at least one packed red cells during the operation. By correcting the iron deficiency in patients who meet the criteria of the anemia study (transferrin saturation less than 20%), we could improve the hemoglobin level, which would allow a wider margin for the transfusion of red cell concentrates.
The study is designed as a parallel, randomized, double blind, three-arm single-center study exploring the efficacy and safety of 12-week once daily oral dosing of iron for correction of overall iron status in 150 otherwise healthy iron-deficient adults presenting with or without mild microcytic anemia. Three iron-containing preparations in the form of either Ferrous Sulfate Capsules, >Your< Iron Forte Capsules, or >Your< Iron Forte Liquid will be tested. Potential study participants will be recruited from the general population of 18-50 year old adults. Participant eligibility will be determined by screening for hemoglobin and ferritin (in combination with C-reactive protein) levels in a sample of venous blood. Eligible individuals will be invited to participate in the study. Enrolled participants will be randomized into one of three intervention groups in a 1:1:1 ratio, receiving either Ferrous Sulfate Capsules, >Your< Iron Forte Capsules, or >Your< Iron Forte Liquid. Efficacy and safety of the assigned interventions will be evaluated through analyses of relevant hematological (hemoglobin, red blood cell indices) and biochemical (ferritin, transferrin saturation) iron-related parameters and reported adverse events after the first 4 and after a total of 12 weeks of intervention.
Several clinical trials have been reported for ferric derisomaltose where it has been shown to be well tolerated and to improve markers of IDA. All clinical trials with ferric derisomaltose have been performed in adults, however, IDA is not specific to the adult population. In fact, children are likely to develop IDA due to their rapid growth. The aim in this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) ferric derisomaltose in children 0 to <18 years of age with IDA due to NDD-CKD or with IDA who are intolerant or unresponsive to oral iron . The subjects will receive ferric derisomaltose/iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monoferric®/Monofer®), at single doses of 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg with a maximal dose of 1000 mg. 24 subjects will be part of a PK assessment, meaning that more blood samples will be drawn within the first week after treatment. The blood samples will be used for analysis of the amount of total iron in the blood from treatment is given to day 7. For the individual subject, duration of the trial will be approximately 10 weeks (including a 14-day screening period) and each subject will attend 6-9 visits. Subjects who will be included in the PK assessments will attend 8 (subjects age 6 to <12 years old and 0 to <6 years old) or 9 (subjects age 12 to <18 years old) visits, while the other subjects will attend 6 visits.
Obesity and iron deficiency (ID) are two forms of the most usual nutritional disorders worldwide. Iron deficiency remains the most common nutritional deficiency and cause of anemia worldwide. Populations in the developing countries, premenopausal females, pregnant women, children, vegetarians and frequent blood donors are largely affected by iron deficiency due to low dietary intake, inadequate bioavailable iron, increased iron demand required for growth and development, iron losses and changes in blood volume. WHO recognized obesity as disease, which is prevalent in both developing and developed countries. Overweight and obesity are now so common and thereby replacing the more traditional public health concerns (under nutrition and infectious diseases) as some of most significant contributors to ill health. The aim of this study is to investigate effect of aerobic exercise and diet on obese anemic premenopausal women which not clarified previously. It will be hypothesized that: There will be no significant effect of aerobic exercise and diet on the anthropometric and hematological measurements in obese anemic women.
This is a cross-sectional, prospective study of iron deficiency anaemia among pregnant patients presenting for antenatal care at a secondary level institution in the Western Cape, Mowbray Maternity Hospital, over a one-week period.
The investigators will retrospectively collect data of patients infused at UMC's emergency department (ED) with long acting irons (ferric carboxymaltose, iron dextran, iron sucrose, etc.), in addition, patients infused with blood products, with intent to treat iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Patient records reviewed will be from patients who were infused at UMC ED from January 2013 to June 2018. Primary aim of analysis will be to investigate superiority between interventions implemented for treating IDA. In addition, the investigators will utilize data to characterize patients who used ED services as an avenue to receive treatment for IDA. Further, the investigators will conduct cost analysis between different IDA directed treatments administered in the ED at UMC.
