Aswin K Mohan։ Intravenous Iron in Heart Failure and Infection Risk
Aswin K Mohan, Medicine Specialist at AIIMS Bibinagar, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Open Heart, adding:
”Happy to share our latest publication in BMJ Open Heart!
‘Infection risk and clinical outcomes with intravenous iron in adults with heart failure and iron deficiency: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.’
Our study examined 18 independent trial cohorts to evaluate the benefits and infection-related risks of intravenous iron therapy in patients with heart failure and iron deficiency.
Key findings:
Intravenous iron probably reduces heart failure-related hospitalisations.
No clear increase in infection risk was observed, although the evidence remains uncertain.
Little or no effect on overall mortality was demonstrated.
These findings add to the growing evidence supporting intravenous iron therapy while highlighting the need for better infection-related safety reporting.”
