our 3 PhD and 3 medical students students presenting their research on #irondeficiency in women’s health, sports, athletes and also surgery at the international meeting- promoting awareness and treatment. End of an era!

In this meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials pre operative IV iron reduced the risk of transfusion in colorectal surgery patients bjsacademy.com/preoperative-i…

Many thanks asn delighted to have been promoted - its why meta-analyses (in the UK ) are regarded as a higher level of evidence than a RCT alone

Hear from the experts what to do with anaemic patients needing surgery for colorectal cancer, and read the paper.

I remain disappointed this remains a question if someone is iron deficient then the treatment is iron - the clue is the diagnosis = iron deficiency :

I’m seeing some “free market” simps defending Nature’s 12k open access fees. Guess it’s time to bring this back around.

Anaemia in surgical patients is an issue - should we be giving IV iron after surgical blood loss?
