Supplemental Iron and Recombinant Erythropoietin for Anemia in Infants Born Very Preterm: A Survey of Clinical Practice in Europe
This survey highlights wide heterogeneity in evaluating erythropoietic activity and iron deficiency in infants born preterm. Variation in iron supplementation during infancy likely reflects an inadequate evidence base. Current evidence on the efficacy and safety profile of rhEpo is only poorly translated into clinical practice. This survey demonstrates a need for standards to optimize patient blood management in anemia of prematurity.
