Response to Letter to the Editor “Therapeutic Alternative to Transfusion in Nonpregnant Women With Iron Deficiency Anemia Caused by Uterine Blood Loss”

We appreciate the letter from Beverina and colleagues in regard to our cohort study that examined current emergency physician practice patterns in the management of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) due to uterine blood loss in a U.S., tertiary-care, county hospital emergency department (ED) (1). As noted in our article, we acknowledge the important work being performed by that group in improving the management of IDA and agree with the need for providers to better incorporate patient blood management principles into a wide variety of practice settings (2,3).
