Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ferric derisomaltose injection versus iron sucrose injection in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) . Methods: A total of 120 patients with iron deficiency anemia admitted from June 2021 to March 2023 were given intravenous iron supplementation with ferric derisomaltose to assess the efficacy and safety of hemoglobin (HGB) elevation before and after treatment. Simultaneously, the clinical effects of iron supplementation with iron sucrose were compared to those of inpatient patients during the same period...

BACKGROUND: RBT-1 is a combination drug of stannic protoporfin (SnPP) and iron sucrose (FeS) that elicits a preconditioning response through activation of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and iron-scavenging pathways, as measured by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and ferritin, respectively. Our primary aim was to determine whether RBT-1 administered before surgery would safely and effectively elicit a preconditioning response in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS: This phase 2, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, adaptive trial, conducted in 19 centres across the USA, Canada, and Australia, enrolled patients scheduled to undergo non-emergent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or heart valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. We compared the effect of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), low-dose intravenous (IV) iron (LDI), and iron sucrose on total cost of care in patients with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) from a US health plan perspective. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective claims analysis using the IQVIA PharMetrics Plus database. Patients with index (first) claims of FCM and LDI and a medical claim associated with IDA between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2019 were included...

BACKGROUND OBJECTIVES: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) during pregnancy is treated with oral and parenteral iron. The objective of this review was to compare the clinical effectiveness, safety, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of intravenous (iv) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and iv iron sucrose (IS) in treating IDA in pregnancy. METHODS: The Department of Health Research funded this study. PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and Scopus were searched to include studies published till November 2022...

Intravenous (IV) iron-carbohydrate complexes are widely used nanoparticles (NPs) to treat iron deficiency anaemia, often associated with medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease, heart failure and various inflammatory conditions. Even though a plethora of physicochemical characterisation data and clinical studies are available for these products, evidence-based correlation between physicochemical properties of iron-carbohydrate complexes and clinical outcome has not fully been elucidated yet. Studies on other metal oxide NPs suggest that early interactions between NPs and blood upon IV injection are key to understanding how differences in physicochemical characteristics of iron-carbohydrate complexes cause variance in clinical outcomes...

INTRODUCTION: Anemia remains a prevalent global health issue with varying severity. Intravenous iron supplementation, particularly with ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), has appeared as a possible therapeutic intervention for individuals with moderate to severe anemia. The study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in reducing anemia. METHODS: We searched electronic databases, registries, websites, e-libraries, reference lists of reviews, citations, etc...

Maximal exercise capacity is reduced at altitude or during hypoxia at sea level. It has been suggested that this might reflect increased right ventricular afterload due to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. We have shown previously that the pulmonary vascular sensitivity to hypoxia is enhanced by sustained isocapnic hypoxia, and inhibited by intravenous iron. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that elevated pulmonary artery pressure contributes to exercise limitation during acute hypoxia. Twelve healthy volunteers performed incremental exercise tests to exhaustion breathing 12% oxygen, before and after sustained (8-h) isocapnic hypoxia at sea level...

In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the association between lice infestation and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The head lice, known as  Pediculosis humanus capitis,  and the body lice, known as  Pediculosis humanus corporis , are responsible for causing these infestations. This case report focuses on the clinical findings of a 63-year-old woman who sought medical attention in the emergency department because of severe pruritus and generalized pain. Upon initial physical examination, the patient was found to have a severe lice infestation, and laboratory findings revealed IDA (Hb: 6...

An 81-year-old Caucasian man who had commenced thrice weekly hemodialysis (HD) three months earlier, presented with a hip fracture, two vertebral fractures and a bone mineral density T-score of -3.6. He had received weekly iron sucrose infusions for 6 weeks and alphacalcidol on dialysis days. Although he suffered from coeliac disease and cirrhosis, he was fully ambulatory and well-nourished. He was normocalcaemic with a marginally low plasma phosphate and the PTH was 11.8 pmol/L (<2-times the upper range of the assay)...

INTRODUCTION: Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in both sexes, although it is more common in women. Intravenous (IV) iron replacement is preferred in patients who cannot tolerate oral treatment or when iron stores need to be replenished rapidly. In this study, we wanted to share the ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) desensitization protocol that we self-created and successfully applied. METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to IV or oral iron replacement and patients who were planned to receive IV iron replacement but were referred to the allergy clinic because of have risk factors (atopic diseases, history of HSR to other drugs, high serum tryptase levels, etc...

BACKGROUND: In select clinical scenarios, IV administration of iron is suitable for management of iron deficiency anemia; however, for most patients, oral administration of iron is the mainstay of treatment. At the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, in Red Deer, Alberta, high utilization of IV iron has resulted in limited access to this medication for the treatment of ambulatory patients, as well as significant usage of health care resources. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective was to compare patient characteristics, specifically pretreatment laboratory test results and previous use of oral iron, among those receiving IV iron therapy in an ambulatory setting before and after implementation of an iron sucrose order set...

OBJECTIVE: This study compared the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of parenteral iron, using intravenous iron sucrose (IVIS) therapy against the standard regimen of oral iron (OI) therapy for managing iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) among pregnant women in a natural primary care setting in Gujarat. DESIGN: A prospective cost-effectiveness study was conducted in natural programme setting wherein 188 pregnant women in their 14 to 18 weeks with moderate and severe anemia women enrolled from two districts of Gujarat, and 142 were followed up until the post-partum phase...

Intravenous (IV) iron supplementation is the preferred treatment option for managing severe iron deficiency (ID) and ID anemia (IDA). Three of the available IV iron preparations are ferric derisomaltose (FDI), ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), and iron sucrose (IS). The objective of the present work was to review the published literature about the efficacy, safety, quality of life (QoL), and economic outcomes of using FDI, FCM, and IS for the treatment of ID. A systematic literature search was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines...

Iron deficiency (ID) and ID anemia (IDA) pose significant public health concerns in China. Although iron sucrose (IS) treatment is well-established in the country, ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) offers the advantage of higher doses and fewer infusions. This open label, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial was conducted at multiple sites in China to compare the outcomes of FCM (maximum of 2 doses, 500 or 1000 mg iron) and IS (up to 11 infusions, 200 mg iron) treatments in subjects with IDA. The primary endpoint was the achievement of hemoglobin (Hb) response (an increase of ⩾2 g/dL from baseline) within 8 weeks, whereas secondary endpoints included changes in Hb, transferrin saturation, and serum ferritin levels...

BACKGROUND: Anemia is extremely common among patients admitted to pediatric intensive care. Alternative treatments to transfusions such as intravenous iron must be considered. There are no published data for a prospective intravenous (IV) iron study focused in the critically ill children. The objective is to examine the safety and efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose infusion to manage anemia in pediatric critical care. A secondary objective is to examine the effect of different dose regimens of iron sucrose (3, 5, and 7 mg/kg dose)...

A woman in her 50s developed iron deficiency anaemia. Her medical history included hypertension, asthma and remote postpartum pulmonary embolism. There was a strong family history of atherosclerosis. After receiving intravenous iron sucrose (500 mg), she developed vomiting and large-volume diarrhoea, followed by diaphoresis, back pain, haemoconcentration (haematocrit increase, 0.242 to 0.326), leucocytosis and platelet count decline. Myocardial infarction was ruled out and the truncal pain subsided. However, 2 days postdischarge, she was diagnosed with aortic intraluminal thrombus (ILT) with embolisation into the lower extremities...

The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the generic intravenous (IV) iron treatment (Feriv®), in a Spanish cohort with absolute iron deficiency (ID) (serum ferritin <50 ng/ml, with or without anaemia) (n = 122; 91% women; median age of 44 years [IQR: 33.7-54]). Iron-related biomarkers were measured before treatment (baseline), 2 weeks after beginning the protocol (intermediate control, IC) and between 7 and 10 days after treatment completion (final time-point). Primary efficacy endpoints were ferritin levels ≥ 50 ng/ml, anaemia restoration or an increase in haemoglobin (Hb) of at least one point in patients without baseline anaemia...

BACKGROUND: Medical complications during pregnancy, including anaemia, gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy place women are at higher risk of long-term complications. Scalable and low-cost strategies to integrate non-communicable disease screening into pregnancy care are needed. We aim to determine the effectiveness and implementation components of a community-based, digitally enabled approach, "SMARThealth Pregnancy," to improve health during pregnancy and the first year after birth...
