IV Iron Versus Standard Treatment for Iron Deficiency Anemia in the Emergency Department

Iron Deficiency Anemia TreatmentIron-deficiency2 more

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.

Time to Relapse of Iron Deficiency Anaemia After Standard Treatment With The Intravenous Iron (Monofer®)...

Iron Deficiency Anaemia

The objective is to monitor and quality assure the efficacy, including effects on quality of life, and safety of Monofer® in Chronic Kidney Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease patient populations when Monofer® is used according to the Monofer® label (Summary of Product Characteristics, SPC) in current clinical practice and where standard routines are being followed.

Non-invasive Optical Detection of Iron Deficiency in Children

Iron DeficiencyIron-deficiency Anemia1 more

This study aims to evaluate a prototype device detecting zinc protoporphyrin-IX fluorescence non-invasively from the intact oral mucosa in children. The prototype device has shown high sensitivity and specificity in women after delivery for iron deficiency. Children are at increased risk for iron deficiency and prevention methods are not established jet. Zinc protoporphyrin-IX is an early indicator of iron deficiency and may be more sensitive than other established parameters. The prototype device is used to measure the erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin-IX/heme ratio in children aged 9 months to 5 years. Children in this age are at increased risk for iron deficiency as they are growing rapidly and iron deficiency in this age may affect the neurodevelopment and immune system adversely. It is proposed that these effects cannot be rectified by iron supplementation in later years. The results from the non-invasive measurements are compared to reference measurements of the erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin-IX/heme ratio from residual blood samples from the same patients and to other indicators of iron status, including hemoglobin, ferritin, serum iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation and soluble transferrin receptor.

Iron Homoeostasis in Inflammation

InflammationBacterial Infections and Mycoses3 more

The purpose of this study is to survey iron storage levels and their prognostic consequences in the context of acute inflammation. The impact of iron substitution in inflammatory states is controversial. We hypothesize that iron substitution may influence outcome in patients in inflammatory states.

Effect of Infant Placement on Iron Stores in Infancy: A Pilot Study

Iron DeficiencyAnemia

This is a pilot study designed to assess the safety of placing an infant on the mother's abdomen at the time of delivery, prior to clamping the umbilical cord and the effect of placing the infant on the mother's abdomen on the infant's iron stores. It is possible that placing the infant on the mother's abdomen (above the placenta) may lower the infant's iron stores during early infancy.

Clinical Observational Study: IBD Patients With Restless-legs-syndrome and Iron Deficiency Syndrome...

Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesRestless Legs Syndrome1 more

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn´s disease or ulcerative colitis, have recurring episodes of abdominal pain, diarrhea and loss of weight. Besides this other clinical symptoms are possible e.g. deficiency syndromes such as iron deficiency. Iron deficiency usually attended by symptoms like hair loss, pale skin, loss of concentration or fatigue. In some cases iron deficiency can lead to neurological manifestations such as restless-legs-syndrome (RLS). Restless legs syndrome is a neurological disorders which is accompanied by substantial urge to move legs or other parts of the body and unpleasant sensations. Aim of this study is to to investigate the prevalence of RLS in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and furthermore evaluate the effect of iron supplementation in patients with iron deficiency and concomitant RLS.

Effect of CFR and Iron Supplementation on Iron Status and Gut Microbiota of 1-2 Years Old Myanmar...

Iron DeficiencyIron Deficiency Anemia

Complementary feeding diet in developing countries cannot meet iron requirements of infants and young children. Iron supplementation is mostly used to treat iron deficiency whereas iron fortification is cost-effective strategy to control iron deficiency in developing countries. However, a recent study showed that iron fortification imposed negative impact on gut microbiota by increasing colonization of gut pathogen over beneficial bacteria. Gut microbiota plays essential roles in nutrient absorption, vitamin synthesis; intestinal mucosal barrier function and pathogen displacement. Iron is essential for growth and virulence of most gut pathogens and so iron supplementation might have similar negative impact on gut microbiota composition. Therefore, nutrition interventions would not be justified by assessing micronutrient status alone ignoring any possible deterioration of gut microbiota. The investigators hypothesized that optimizing the nutrient intake from locally available foods according to complementary feeding recommendation (CFR) can improve the iron status of these children while maintaining healthy gut microbiota composition. A randomized, placebo-controlled, community-based, intervention trial will be conducted in Ayeyarwady division of Myanmar where childhood undernutrition is prevalent. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of optimized CFR to iron supplementation on iron status and gut microbiota composition of 1-2years old Myanmar children. Cluster randomization will be done at the village level to randomly allocate the villages into CFR or non-CFR villages. Individual randomization will be done to randomly assign each child into iron or placebo syrup so that individual children will receive one of 4 treatment groups (CFR, Fe, CFR + Fe, and Control) for a period of 24 weeks. Based on expected between-groups difference of hemoglobin 5g/L, at 80% power, 5% level of significance, 15% drop-out rate; after taking into account the cluster effect; required sample will be 109 per group (total = 436). A sub-sample of 15 children from each group will be randomly selected for gut microbiota assessment (total = 60). Blood samples for iron status and stool samples for gut microbiota assessment will be collected at baseline and endline. Anthropometric measurements, usual intake of iron and infectious disease morbidity will also be assessed.

Iron Deficiency Anemia, Iron Supplementation and Genomic Stability in Infants

AnemiaIron-deficiency

This study compares weekly versus daily administration of iron for prevention of anemia in 6 months old infants. One third of the infants that are exclusively breast fed will not receive iron, the second third will receive iron weekly and the last third will receive iron daily. Half of the infants that take infant formula will receive iron weekly and the other half will receive iron daily.
