Suboptimal screening and correction of maternal iron deficiency anaemia in the general population and in inherited bleeding disorders: A population‐based cohort study
Abstract
Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes globally. Women with inherited bleeding disorders are at increased risk, with scarce data on rates of IDA screening and correction during pregnancy. The impact of correction on outcomes is unclear. To assess the frequency of IDA screening, the frequency of IDA in pregnancies with and without bleeding disorders and the impact of correction on outcomes. This retrospective population-based cohort study includes all hospitalized pregnancies using the Alberta Pregnancy Birth Cohort. IDA was defined as haemoglobin
