IV iron sucrose led to a 2.1 g/dL increase in hemoglobin over four weeks, compared to 1.1 g/dL with oral ferrous fumarate.
Significant rise in serum ferritin by 221.8% in IV iron group, while oral iron group saw a 96.4% increase—both p<0.001.
Conducted as a comparative study in 100 pregnant women aged 18-35 with moderate to severe anemia, measuring key hematological parameters.
Findings support using IV iron therapy for rapid anemia correction, especially in settings with limited resources and poor oral compliance.
