Prevalence and Implications of Low Reticulocyte–Hemoglobin Levels among Extreme Preterm Neonates: A Single-Center Retrospective Study
Abstract
This retrospective cohort study aims to determine the epidemiology of iron deficiency among extreme preterm neonates and the association of iron-deficient status during the NICU stay with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18−24 months. Neonates ≤29 weeks gestational age (GA) born between June 2016 and December 2019, who received routine iron supplementation were enrolled. Iron deficiency was defined as reticulocyte−hemoglobin (Ret-Hb) levels ≤ 29 …
