Scientific titleThe effect of intravenous iron on postoperative transfusion requirements in hip fracture patients – a pilot study
Study acronymIVANOF1
Study objectivesAnaemia following hip fracture is common. Approximately 30-45 % of patients have haemoglobin concentrations ([Hb]) below population norms on admission and around 10% are severely anaemic. Anaemia on admission and in the postoperative period is associated with poor outcome with regard to mobility, postoperative mortality and readmission. There is currently no clear consensus on the optimal method to manage peri-operative anaemia in this frail group of patients with frequent comorbidity. Liberal red cell transfusion in the postoperative period does not appear to improve outcome and tranexamic acid appears to reduce transfusion rate at the expense of increased cardiovascular morbidity. There are encouraging results from one centre with the use of agents to stimulate red cell production, including intravenous iron and erythropoietin. UK practice has significant differences to the patients and these studies and it is not clear whether these promising results will translate to the UK population.

InterventionSingle-centre randomised controlled parallel group trial. Randomisation by website using computer generated concealed tables. Setting: University hospital in UK. Participants: 80 patients with acute hip fracture undergoing operative repair and aged > 70 years.

Intervention: Three daily infusions of 200mg iron sucrose starting within 24 hours of admission. Control group: standard hospital care at the discretion of the clinical team. Red cell transfusions for each group are given in accordance with standard clinical triggers.

Primary outcome: difference in mean reticulocyte count between groups at day 7.
Secondary outcomes include: haemoglobin concentrations, early and late transfusion rates, infectious and cardiovascular complications, mobility and 30-day mortality.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
