RÉSUMÉ
AIMS: Bariatric surgery induces several micronutrient deficiencies that require supplementation. For iron, parenteral infusions are usually preferred over oral supplementation. Ferric carboxymaltose infusion has been associated with hypophosphataemia, mostly transient and asymptomatic. However, in some cases, ferric carboxymaltose-induced hypophosphataemia may persist for weeks to months and may induce muscle weakness, osteomalacia and bone fractures. The aim of this study was to identify possible predictors of a clinically relevant decrease in serum phosphate after ferric carboxymaltose infusion in patients with previous Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. METHODS: Patients with previous Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who received ferric carboxymaltose infusions between January 2018 and September 2019 and had recorded phosphataemia before and after ferric carboxymaltose infusion at the Lausanne University Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland, were studied retrospectively. A multiple linear regression model was built with delta phosphataemia as the outcome to investigate the factors related to magnitude of serum phosphate lowering. RESULTS: Seventy-seven patients (70 females and 7 males) with previous Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were studied. Mean age (SD) was 43.2 (10.7) years and median BMI was 30.9 kg/m2 (IQR 27.9-36.4). Sixty-eight patients (88.3%) received an infusion of 500 mg ferric carboxymaltose and 9 patients (11.7%) received 250 mg ferric carboxymaltose. Forty-nine patients (63.6%) developed hypophosphataemia (<0.8 mmol/l) after ferric carboxymaltose infusion. Median plasma phosphate significantly decreased by 0.33 mmol/l (IQR 0.14-0.49) (p<0.0001). Multiple linear regression identified the ferric carboxymaltose dose as the only risk factor significantly associated with the magnitude of serum phosphate lowering, with an additional mean loss of 0.26 mmol/l with a 500 mg infusion compared to a 250 mg infusion (p = 0.020). CONCLUSION: Ferric carboxymaltose infusions substantially decreased plasma phosphate levels in patients with previous Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Compared to a dose of 250 mg, infusion of a dose of 500 mg ferric carboxymaltose decreased the plasma phosphate further in this population.

PURPOSE: Iron deficiency anemia is common in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), causing deterioration in quality of life, which can be reversed by treatment that increases iron stores and hemoglobin levels. The present post hoc analyses estimate health state utility values for patients with IBD after treatment with ferric derisomaltose or ferric carboxymaltose and evaluate the health domains driving the changes. METHODS: SF-36v2 responses were recorded at baseline and day 14, 35, 49, and 70 from 97 patients enrolled in the randomized, double-blind, PHOSPHARE-IBD trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03466983), in which patients with IBD across five European countries were randomly allocated to either ferric derisomaltose or ferric carboxymaltose. Changes in SF-36v2 scale scores and SF-6Dv2 health utility values were analyzed by mixed models. RESULTS: In both treatment arms, SF-6Dv2 utility values and all SF-36v2 scale scores, except Bodily Pain, improved significantly (p = < 0.0001). The improvement in SF-6Dv2 utility values showed no significant treatment group difference. The improvement in utility values was completely explained by improvement in Vitality scores. Vitality scores showed significantly larger improvement with ferric derisomaltose versus ferric carboxymaltose (p = 0.026). Patients with the smallest decrease in phosphate had significantly larger improvements in Vitality scores at each time point (p = < 0.05 for all comparisons) and overall (p = 0.0006). CONCLUSIONS: Utility values improved significantly with intravenous iron treatment. Improvement in utility values was primarily driven by Vitality scores, which showed significantly greater improvement in the ferric derisomaltose arm. Smaller decreases in phosphate were associated with significantly higher Vitality scores, suggesting that quality of life improvement is attenuated by hypophosphatemia. The utility values can inform future cost-utility analysis.

BACKGROUND: Acute gastrointestinal bleeding (AGIB) is common in older patients but the use of iron in this context remains understudied. AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate prospectively the efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose to treat anaemia in older patients after AGIB. METHODS: This randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 10 French centres. Eligible patients were 65 years or more, had controlled upper or lower gastrointestinal bleeding and a haemoglobin level of 9-11 g/dl. Patients were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive either one intravenous iron injection of ferric carboxymaltose or one injection of saline solution. The primary endpoint was the difference in haemoglobin level between day 0 and day 42. Secondary endpoints were treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, rehospitalisation and improvement of quality of life (QOL) at day 180. RESULTS: From January 2013 to January 2017, 59 patients were included. The median age of patients was 81.9 [75.8, 87.3] years. At day 42, a significant difference in haemoglobin level increase was observed (2.49 g/dl in the ferric carboxymaltose group vs. 1.56 g/dl in the placebo group, P = 0.02). At day 180, QOL, measured on European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30, improved by 10.5 points in the ferric carboxymaltose group and by 8.2 points in the placebo group (P = 0.56). Rates of adverse events and rehospitalisation were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous iron seems safe and effective to treat anaemia in older patients after AGIB and should be considered as a standard-of-care treatment. ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01690585).

Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common types of anemia, but real-world clinical management practices in Japan are unclear. This study retrospectively explored iron prescription patterns, treatment effectiveness, and assessments. Patients with at least one treatment period between September 2020 and September 2022 were included and classified into three groups (ferric carboxymaltose [FCM]: 7437 patients, saccharated ferric oxide [SFO]: 98,648 patients, and oral iron: 359,547 patients). Iron-related laboratory values over time and testing proportions were evaluated. Median baseline hemoglobin levels were lowest with FCM (FCM: 8.10 g/dL, SFO: 8.70 g/dL, oral iron: 9.70 g/dL), but changes in hemoglobin levels by 12 weeks were greatest with FCM (FCM: 3.20 g/dL, SFO: 2.60 g/dL, oral iron: 1.70 g/dL). The median serum ferritin level at 8 weeks after FCM treatment was 43.70 ng/mL for ≤500 mg, versus 123.30 ng/mL for >500 to ≤1500 mg. All groups had a low proportion of serum ferritin and transferrin saturation (TSAT) testing at diagnosis (<38%), which decreased further for post-treatment assessment (<24%). This study suggests the importance of prescribing an appropriate total iron cumulative dose per the package insert, along with diagnosis and assessments based on serum ferritin/TSAT.

Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials evaluating the clinical effects of ferric carboxymaltose therapy compared to other intravenous iron in improving hemoglobin and serum ferritin in pregnant women. We also assessed the safety of ferric carboxymaltose vs. other intravenous iron. Data source: EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched for trials related to ferric carboxymaltose in pregnant women, published between 2005 and 2021. We also reviewed articles from google scholar. The keywords "ferric carboxymaltose," "FCM," "intravenous," "randomized," "pregnancy," "quality of life," and "neonatal outcomes" were used to search the literature. The search was limited to pregnant women. Selection of studies: Studies related to ferric carboxymaltose in pregnancy were scanned. Observational studies, review articles, and case reports were excluded. Randomized studies in pregnant women involving ferric carboxymaltose and other intravenous iron formulations were shortlisted. Of 256 studies, nine randomized control trials were selected. Data collection: Two reviewers independently extracted data from nine selected trials. Data synthesis: The final effect size for increase in hemoglobin after treatment was significant for ferric carboxymaltose vs. iron sucrose/iron polymaltose (standard mean difference 0.89g/dl [95% confidence interval 0.27,1.51]). The final effect size for the increase in ferritin after treatment was more for ferric carboxymaltose vs. iron sucrose/iron polymaltose (standard mean difference 22.53µg/L [-7.26, 52.33]). No serious adverse events were reported with ferric carboxymaltose or other intravenous iron. Conclusion: Ferric carboxymaltose demonstrated better efficacy than other intravenous iron in increasing hemoglobin and ferritin levels in treating iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hepatic effects of high-dose intravenous (IV) iron, including those on liver function and the degree of fibrosis, in a rat model of cirrhosis. METHODS: We evenly allocated 25 Sprague-Dawley rats into five groups: normal rats (control group), cirrhotic rats receiving IV normal saline (liver cirrhosis [LC] group), and cirrhotic rats receiving 20, 40, or 80 mg/kg IV ferric carboxymaltose (LC-iron20, LC-iron40, and LC-iron80 group, respectively). Biochemical parameters were compared at 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. The degrees of hepatic fibrosis and iron deposition were evaluated. Inflammatory and oxidative stress markers were also compared. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the 28-day serum alanine aminotransferase levels among the LC-iron20, LC-iron40, and LC-iron80 groups (69 ± 7, 1003 ± 127, 1064 ± 309, 919 ± 346, and 820 ± 195 IU/L in the control, LC, LC-iron20, LC-iron40, and LC-iron80 groups, respectively). Hepatic iron accumulation increased in a dose-dependent manner, but the degree of hepatic fibrosis was comparable among the groups. The inflammatory and oxidative stress marker levels did not differ significantly according to the IV iron dose. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of IV iron at various high doses appears safe in our rat model of cirrhosis.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of different oral iron preparations prescribed for prevention of iron deficiency anemia in healthy infants. METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled infants aged between 6 and 12 months who were initiated on iron prophylaxis at four months of age. Enrolled children consistently used specific iron preparations (ferrous, ferric or liposomal iron) and had their complete blood counts and serum ferritin levels assessed within the 6-12 month timeframe. Blood values and iron prophylaxis type (ferrous (Fe+2), ferric (Fe+3), liposomal iron) were recorded. Chi-square test was used to compare the hemoglobin and ferritin levels levels between groups. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses assessed the risk of anemia. RESULTS: The study included 371 children (ferrous sulphate - 60, iron hydroxide-polymaltose complex - 137 and liposomal ferric pyrophosphate - 174) with a mean (SD) age 9.1 (1.3) mo. Iron deficiency in different groups were: liposomal iron (46.0%), ferric iron (44.5%), and ferrous iron (5.0%). Mean (SD) serum ferritin levels (µg/L) were higher in the ferrous group [30.1 (10.8)] compared to infants receiving ferric [17.6 (14.50)] and liposomal iron [15.4 (12.1)] (P < 0.001). Mean (SD) hemoglobin levels (g/dL) were significantly higher in the ferrous group [12.4 (0.8)] compared to ferric [11.9 (1.1)] and liposomal iron group [12.0 (1.1)]; P =0.008. Multiple regression analysis showed that ferrous group was associated with a lower risk of iron deficiency [OR (95% CI) 0.04 (0.01-0.15), P < 0.001]. CONCLUSION: Ferrous iron demonstrated superior efficacy compared to ferric and liposomal iron. Further studies are needed to establish alternative iron preprations in children.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: Iron therapy is associated with improvements in restless legs syndrome (RLS). This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study evaluated the effect of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) on RLS. METHODS: A total of 209 adult patients with a baseline International RLS (IRLS) scoreâ ≥â 15 were randomized (1:1) to FCM (750 mg/15 mL) or placebo on study days 0 and 5. Ongoing RLS medication was tapered starting on Day 5, with the goal of discontinuing treatment or achieving the lowest effective dose. Co-primary efficacy endpoints were changed from baseline in IRLS total score and the proportion of patients rated as much/very much improved on the Clinical Global Impression (CGI)-investigator (CGI-I) scale at day 42 in the "As-Treated" population. RESULTS: The "As-Treated" population comprised 107 FCM and 101 placebo recipients; 88 (82.2%) and 68 (67.3%), respectively, completed the day 42 assessment. The IRLS score reduction was significantly greater with FCM versus placebo: least-squares mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) -8.0 (-9.5, -6.4) versus -4.8 (-6.4, -3.1); pâ =â .0036. No significant difference was observed in the proportion of FCM (35.5%) and placebo (28.7%) recipients with a CGI-I response (odds ratio 1.37 [95% CI: 0.76, 2.47]; pâ =â .2987). Fewer patients treated with FCM (32.7%) than placebo (59.4%) received RLS interventions between day 5 and study end (pâ =â .0002). FCM was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: The IRLS score improved with intravenous FCM versus placebo, although the combination of both co-primary endpoints was not met. Potential methodological problems in the study design are discussed.

BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) increases levels of C-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23 (cFGF23) and platelet count (PLT), each of which is associated with cardiovascular events. Therefore, we hypothesized that iron replacement with ferric citrate hydrate (FC) would decrease cFGF23 levels and PLT in patients with IDA. METHODS: In a randomized, open-label, multicenter, 24-week clinical trial, patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) and non-CKD complicated by IDA (8.0 ≤ hemoglobin < 11.0 g/dL; and serum ferritin < 50 ng/mL [CKD]; < 12 ng/mL [non-CKD]) were randomized 1:1 to FC-low (500 mg: approximately 120 mg elemental iron/day) or FC-high (1000 mg: approximately 240 mg elemental iron/day). If sufficient iron replacement had been achieved after week 8, further treatment was discontinued. RESULTS: Seventy-three patients were allocated to FC-low (CKD n = 21, non-CKD n = 15) and FC-high (CKD n = 21, non-CKD n = 16). Regardless of CKD status, FC increased serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, did not change intact FGF23 or serum phosphorus, but decreased cFGF23. In FC-low group, median changes in cFGF23 from baseline to week 8 were -58.00 RU/mL in CKD and -725.00 RU/mL in non-CKD; in FC-high group, the median changes were -66.00 RU/mL in CKD and -649.50 RU/mL in non-CKD. By week 8, FC treatment normalized PLT in all patients with high PLT at baseline (>35.2 × 104/µL; FC-low: 1 CKD, 8 non-CKD; FC-high: 3 CKD, 8 non-CKD). CONCLUSION: Regardless of CKD status, iron replacement with FC decreased elevated cFGF23 levels and normalized elevated PLT in patients with IDA. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: jRCT2080223943.

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.) for HSRs. Before desensitization, some of the patients underwent skin tests (skin prick test and intradermal test) with FCM, and the results were recorded. Skin tests were not performed in patients with a history of drug use (antihistamine, systemic steroid, omalizumab, etc.) that affected the results of skin tests. All patients underwent a one-bag 8-step desensitization protocol with 500 mg FCM and were observed for 2 h after desensitization. RESULTS: A total of 15 patients (14 females and 1 male) with a mean age of 41.13 ± 11.18 years were included in the study. When the patients were evaluated in terms of the risk of allergic reactions according to their clinical history, 8 patients had a history of anaphylaxis with iron preparations (FCM, n = 4; ferric hydroxide sucrose, n = 2; iron [II] glycine sulfate, n = 1; and iron [III] hydroxide polymaltose, n = 1), and 7 patients had a history of HSR other than anaphylaxis with iron preparations (urticaria, n = 6 [FCM, n = 2; iron (II) glycine sulfate, n = 2; and iron (III) hydroxide polymaltose, n = 2] and urticaria + angioedema [ferric hydroxide sucrose, n = 1]). Desensitization was successfully completed in all patients. No HSR was observed during or after the procedure in any of the patients. CONCLUSION: IV iron replacement is a very effective method, especially in cases where iron stores need to be replenished more rapidly. In patients with a history of iron HSR or at risk of developing HSR, replacement can be safely performed without an allergic reaction with successful desensitization protocols.

Introducción: la carboximaltosa férrica (CF) es una preparación intravenosa que ayuda a la corrección rápida de anemia con menor riesgo de reacciones adversas. Sin embargo, se ha encontrado asociación entre la administración de la CF y el desarrollo de hipofosfatemia. Caso clínico: presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente de 57 años con anemia ferropénica que tras recibir tratamiento con CF (Ferinjet®) de forma crónica, desarrolla un cuadro clínico de debilidad muscular severa. En la analítica se aprecia hipofosfatemia, normocalcemia, nivel de vitamina D normal (tras corrección) y aumento de excreción renal de fósforo. Tras estudio se llega al diagnóstico de hipofosfatemia crónica secundaria al uso de la CF. Discusión: la CF puede provocar un aumento de FGF-23 el cual actúa a nivel renal induciendo fosfaturia, pudiendo generar hipofosfatemia grave. Este caso demuestra la importancia de reconocer y tratar esta entidad clínica a tiempo. (AU)
Introduction: ferric carboxymaltose (CF) is an intravenous preparation that helps the rapid correction of anemia with a lower risk of adverse reactions. However, an association has been found between the administration of CF and the development of hypophosphatemia. Case report: we present the clinical case of a 57-year-old patient with a history of iron de-ficiency anemia who, after receiving treatment with CF (Ferinjet®) chronically, develops a clinical of severe muscle weakness. Laboratory tests showed hypophosphatemia, normocalcemia, normal vitamin D level (after correction) and increased renal excretion of phosphorus. After study, the diagnosis of chronic hypophosphatemia secondary to the use of CF is reached. Discussion: CF can cause an increase in FGF-23 which acts at the renal level inducing phosphaturia, which can generate severe hypophosphatemia. This case demonstrates the importance of recognizing and treating this clinical entity in time. (AU)

BACKGROUND: Ferric carboxymaltose therapy reduces symptoms and improves quality of life in patients who have heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and iron deficiency. Additional evidence about the effects of ferric carboxymaltose on clinical events is needed. METHODS: In this double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned ambulatory patients with heart failure, a left ventricular ejection fraction of 40% or less, and iron deficiency, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive intravenous ferric carboxymaltose or placebo, in addition to standard therapy for heart failure. Ferric carboxymaltose or placebo was given every 6 months as needed on the basis of iron indexes and hemoglobin levels. The primary outcome was a hierarchical composite of death within 12 months after randomization, hospitalizations for heart failure within 12 months after randomization, or change from baseline to 6 months in the 6-minute walk distance. The significance level was set at 0.01. RESULTS: We enrolled 3065 patients, of whom 1532 were randomly assigned to the ferric carboxymaltose group and 1533 to the placebo group. Death by month 12 occurred in 131 patients (8.6%) in the ferric carboxymaltose group and 158 (10.3%) in the placebo group; a total of 297 and 332 hospitalizations for heart failure, respectively, occurred by month 12; and the mean (±SD) change from baseline to 6 months in the 6-minute walk distance was 8±60 and 4±59 m, respectively (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney P = 0.02; unmatched win ratio, 1.10; 99% confidence interval, 0.99 to 1.23). Repeated dosing of ferric carboxymaltose appeared to be safe with an acceptable adverse-event profile in the majority of patients. The number of patients with serious adverse events occurring during the treatment period was similar in the two groups (413 patients [27.0%] in the ferric carboxymaltose group and 401 [26.2%] in the placebo group). CONCLUSIONS: Among ambulatory patients who had heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and iron deficiency, there was no apparent difference between ferric carboxymaltose and placebo with respect to the hierarchical composite of death, hospitalizations for heart failure, or 6-minute walk distance.

BACKGROUND: Gynecological pathologies are an important cause of anemia in women. In this study, we aimed to evaluate women who had been hospitalized because of anemia (Hb level <10 g/dL) caused by gynecologic pathologies and treated with either intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose) or blood transfusion. METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study was performed in a tertiary care center. Women who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of anemia with Hb level<10 g/dL and abnormal uterine bleeding between March 2015- September 2017 in the gynecology clinic were enrolled in the study. Hemoglobin levels, hemoglobin changes, uterine pathology and treatment of patients were recorded and compared. RESULTS: One hundred and fifteen women received red blood cell transfusion and 100 women were treated with intravenous ferric carboxymaltose. The mean age of the women was 45.1±6.1 (22-57) years. Although the mean Hb levels were higher in the iv-iron replacement group at the end of the one month (P=0.001), the mean increase in Hb levels was similar between two treatment modalities (P=0.101). Among the anemic women who required surgery, iv iron replacement was the first choice in 75.9% of women; 34.1% received red blood cell transfusion in the preoperative period. CONCLUSIONS: Gynecological pathologies are a common cause of anemia in reproductive age women and intravenous carboxymaltose treatment is a safe and cheaper alternative of blood-transfusion in appropriate cases to elevate the Hb levels in the preoperative period.

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of intravenous (IV) iron (ferric derisomaltose) with oral iron (ferrous fumarate) in women 14-21 weeks pregnant with persistent iron deficiency (ferritin < 30 µg/L). METHODS: In a single-centre, open-label, randomised controlled trial at a Danish hospital, women with persistent iron deficiency after routine oral iron treatment were allocated to receive 1000 mg IV iron (single-dose) or 100 mg elemental oral iron daily. Outcomes were assessed during an 18-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of non-anaemic (haemoglobin [Hb] ≥ 11 g/dL) women throughout follow-up. Other outcomes included changes in haematological parameters, patient-reported fatigue, and quality of life (QoL). Safety was assessed by recording adverse events. RESULTS: From July 2017 to February 2020, 100 women were randomised to IV iron and 101 to oral iron. Throughout follow-up, 91% of women were non-anaemic in the IV iron group compared with 73% in the oral iron group (18% difference [95% confidence interval 0.10-0.25]; p < 0.001). The mean Hb increase was significantly greater with IV iron versus oral iron at Weeks 6 (0.4 versus - 0.2 g/dL; p < 0.001), 12 (0.5 versus 0.1 g/dL; p < 0.001), and 18 (0.8 versus 0.5 g/dL; p = 0.01). Improvements in fatigue and QoL were greater with IV iron versus oral iron at Weeks 3 and 6. The incidence of treatment-related adverse events was comparable between treatment groups. CONCLUSION: IV iron was superior in preventing anaemia compared with oral iron in pregnant women with persistent iron deficiency; biochemical superiority was accompanied by improved fatigue and QoL.

Background: Patients suffering from heart failure (HF) and iron deficiency (ID) have worse outcomes. Treatment with intra-venous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose has been shown to reduce HF rehospitalizations and to improve functional capacity and symptoms in patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, IV ferric carboxymaltose is significantly more expensive than IV sodium ferric gluconate complex (SFGC) limiting its availability to most HF patients around the globe. Methods: A retrospective analysis comparing patients admitted to internal medicine or cardiology departments between January 2013 to December 2018 due to acute decompensated HF (ADHF) and treated with or without IV SFGC on top of standard medical therapy. Results: During the study period, a total of 1863 patients were hospitalized due to ADHF with either HFrEF or HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Among them, 840 patients had laboratory evidence of iron deficiency (absolute or functional) and met the inclusion criteria. One hundred twenty-two of them (14.5%) were treated with IV SFGC during the index hospitalization. Patients treated with IV iron were more likely to have history of ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and chronic kidney disease. The rate of readmissions due to ADHF was similar between the groups at 30 days, 3 months, and 1 year. Conclusion: High risk patient hospitalized to ADHF and treated with IV SFGC showed comparable ADHF readmission rates, compared to those who did not receive iron supplementation.

BACKGROUND: Anaemia is common and associated with poor outcomes in survivors of critical illness. However, the optimal treatment strategy is unclear. METHODS: We conducted a multicentre, feasibility RCT to compare either a single dose of ferric carboxymaltose 1000 mg i.v. or usual care in patients being discharged from the ICU with moderate or severe anaemia (haemoglobin ≤100 g L-1). We collected data on feasibility (recruitment, randomisation, follow-up), biological efficacy, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Ninety-eight participants were randomly allocated (49 in each arm). The overall recruitment rate was 34% with 6.5 participants recruited on average per month. Forty-seven of 49 (96%) participants received the intervention. Patient-reported outcome measures were available for 79/93 (85%) survivors at 90 days. Intravenous iron resulted in a higher mean (standard deviation [sd]) haemoglobin at 28 days (119.8 [13.3] vs 106.7 [14.9] g L-1) and 90 days (130.5 [15.1] vs 122.7 [17.3] g L-1), adjusted mean difference (10.98 g L-1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.96-17.01; P<0.001) over 90 days after randomisation. Infection rates were similar in both groups. Hospital readmissions at 90 days post-ICU discharge were lower in the i.v. iron group (7/40 vs 15/39; risk ratio=0.46; 95% CI, 0.21-0.99; P=0.037). The median (inter-quartile range) post-ICU hospital stay was shorter in the i.v. iron group but did not reach statistical significance (5.0 [3.0-13.0] vs 9.0 [5.0-16.0] days, P=0.15). CONCLUSION: A large, multicentre RCT of i.v. iron to treat anaemia in survivors of critical illness appears feasible and is necessary to determine the effects on patient-centred outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether routine perioperative intravenous iron replenishment reduces the requirement for packed erythrocytes (pRBC) transfusion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery are at high risk of developing postoperative iron deficiency anemia, thus requiring transfusion, which is associated with adverse outcomes. METHODS: Patients were randomized to receive either ferric derisomaltose 20âmg/kg (n = 103) or placebo (n = 101) twice during the perioperative period: 3âdays before and after the surgery. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who received pRBC transfusion until postoperative day (POD) 10. Hemoglobin, reticulocyte count, serum iron profile, hepcidin, and erythropoietin were serially measured. RESULTS: pRBC was transfused in 60.4% and 57.2% of patients in the control and iron group, respectively (P = 0.651). Hemoglobin concentration at 3âweeks postoperatively was higher in the iron group than in the control group (11.6 ± 1.5âg/dL vs 10.9 ± 1.4âg/dL, P < 0.001). The iron group showed higher reticulocyte count [205â(150-267)×103/µL vs 164â(122-207)×103/µL, P = 0.003] at POD 10. Transferrin saturation and serum ferritin were significantly increased in the iron group than in the control group (P < 0.001). Serum hepcidin was higher in the iron group than in the control group at POD 3 [106.3 (42.9-115.9) ng/mL vs 39.3 (33.3-43.6) ng/mL, P < 0.001]. Erythropoietin concentration increased postoperatively in both groups (P = 0.003), with no between-group difference. CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous iron supplementation during index hospitalization for complex cardiac surgery did not minimize pRBC transfusion despite replenished iron store and augmented erythropoiesis, which may be attributed to enhanced hepcidin expression.
