Iron Deficiency in Anemic Children Surviving Critical Illness: Post Hoc Analysis of a Single-Center Prospective Cohort in Canada, 2019-2022.
Many children leave the PICU with anemia. The mechanisms of post-PICU anemia are poorly investigated, and treatment of anemia, other than blood, is rarely started during PICU. We aimed to characterize the contributions of iron depletion (ID) and/or inflammation in the development of post-PICU anemia and to explore the utility of hepcidin (a novel iron marker) at detecting ID during inflammation. ⋯ The burden of ID in children post-PICU is high and better management strategies are required. Hepcidin may increase the diagnostic yield of ID in patients with inflammation.
