Prevalence of Iron Deficiency in Pregnancy: A Single Centre Canadian Study

ConclusionWe found an extremely high prevalence of ID in our pregnant patient population. This confirms that ID remains an underappreciated problem, even at a tertiary care centre. Our findings highlight a tremendous gap in awareness, which demands strategies to improve knowledge translation. Future directions include the simplification and digitization of IRON MOM to empower pregnant patients to advocate for their care.Figure 1.DisclosuresLausman: Ferring: Other: gave a talk.
