Filter by:Preoperative anaemia has been shown to be associated with worse outcomes after surgery in both adults and children. Limited research has been done on how common preoperative iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is in children and how best to treat it. Oral iron is a relatively cost-effective treatment for IDA. This study aims to show whether giving children with IDA oral iron for 6-12 weeks before their surgery significantly improves their haemoglobin.
