Impact of Iron Deficiency Anemia on Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Insights From the Nationwide Readmission Database From 2016 to 2021
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation ( #TAVI ) has become an established intervention for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, particularly in high-risk and elderly patients. Although #anemia is frequently encountered in this population, the specific role of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in influencing outcomes following TAVI remains underexplored.Aims: This study aims to evaluate the impact of… Continue reading Impact of Iron Deficiency Anemia on Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Insights From the Nationwide Readmission Database From 2016 to 2021
Prediction of #anemia and estimation of hemoglobin concentration using a smartphone #camera
Anemia, defined as a low hemoglobin concentration, has a large impact on the health of the world’s population. We describe the use of a ubiquitous device, the smartphone, to predict hemoglobin concentration and screen for anemia. This was a prospective convenience sample study conducted in Emergency Department (ED) patients of an academic teaching hospital. In… Continue reading Prediction of #anemia and estimation of hemoglobin concentration using a smartphone #camera
The Efficacy and Safety of Vitamin #C for Iron Supplementation in Adult Patients With Iron Deficiency #Anemia
It remains uncertain whether vitamin C routinely used with oral iron supplements is essential for patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA).. ..The primary outcome was the change in hemoglobin level from baseline to 2 weeks of treatment, and an equivalence margin of 1 g/dL in hemoglobin was chosen for the demonstration of comparable efficacy. Secondary… Continue reading The Efficacy and Safety of Vitamin #C for Iron Supplementation in Adult Patients With Iron Deficiency #Anemia
