Randomized controlled trial on the treatment of Hypoferritinemia without Anemia: Comparing oral and intravenous iron supplementation among reproductive age women in Pakistan
The primary outcome will be the change in serum ferritin levels among groups at four months post-intervention. Secondary outcomes will include changes in clinical symptoms post-intervention. Data will be analyzed by using independent t-tests for between-group ferritin levels, paired t-tests for within-group comparisons, Wilcoxon Rank and Friedman tests for clinical symptoms, and ANOVA for comparisons across multiple groups.
