Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia accounts for 7595% of anemia in pregnancy. Adherence to daily iron supplementation still faces challenges. So, we had planned to compare the efficacy of oral iron with single dose parenteral iron sucrose as prophylaxis of anemia. Prospective interventional cohort study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology JNMCH, Aligarh between Oct 2013-15. Non-anemic women between 14- 26week GA were allocated into two groups. Group A was supplemented with oral iron 100 mg once a day till term. Group B was administered single dose iron sucrose infusion of 500 mg. Pre supplementation and pre delivery hemoglobin and serum ferritin were noted. T-test and Chi-square were used for data analysis. Mean increase in serum ferritin levels in Group B patients was 4.35±4.02ng/ml and by 1.06±2.9ng/ml in Group A patients. (t = 5.96, p value<0.001). Single dose iron sucrose may be effective in prophylaxis of iron deficiency anemia.
