Learning Objectives
- Review the clinical gravity and foundational pathophysiology of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in pediatric patients, with an emphasis on patient impact and the need for treatment.
- Evaluate the evolving clinical trial evidentiary base for intravenous (IV) iron as IDA management in pediatric patients, including a summary of recent FDA approvals and updated label indications for IV iron therapies.
- Discuss practical aspects of IV iron usage in the pediatric setting, including appropriate dosing, safety considerations, and clinician adherence to evidence-based IDA treatment standards.
- Use a real-world, case-based format to design evidence-supported strategies for recognizing, diagnosing, treating, and evaluating IDA in pediatric patients, focusing on the interpolation of IV iron into the management paradigm.
