Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The efficacy of IV iron administration to improve preoperative hemoglobin concentrationTimepoint: to evaluate hemoglobin levels one day prior to surgery & on postoperative days 1 & 2.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To determine the effect of preoperative intravenous iron supplementation therapy on the need for perioperative blood transfusions. 2. To determine the effect of preoperative IV iron supplementation on serum phosphate levels a day prior to the surgeryTimepoint: requirement of blood transfusion in the postoperative period & to evaluate phosphate levels one day prior to surgery & on post operative day 3
