Brief summary

Many patients who are candidates for scheduled major surgery have a pre-operative iron deficiency which is poorly diagnosed. The management of per-operative iron deficiency is a part of the concept of the Patient Blood Management, which is a concept recommended by health regulatory agencies in many countries. The objective of this study is to obtain updated data on the prevalence of iron deficiency in France in patients undergoing a scheduled major surgery, applying the French recommendations (determination of ferritinemia and Transferrin Saturation Factor).
