Intravenous versus Oral iron for Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Pregnancy (IVIDA): A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion IV iron reduces rates of anemia at the time of admission for delivery, supporting a larger RCT comparing IV versus oral iron for the treatment of IDA of pregnancy powered for definitive clinical outcomes. However, issues uncovered in this RCT suggest that patient, clinician, and systems-level barriers associated with different IDA treatment modalities must be considered prior to conducting a larger RCT. This study is registered with clinicaltrials.gov with identifier no.: NCT03438227.
