Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals 19.7% prevalence of iron deficiency in children with cyanotic congenital heart disease, indicating the need for routine evaluation.

Key Points

Nineteen point seven percent of children with cyanotic congenital heart disease have iron deficiency anemia, highlighting a significant health concern.
Despite elevated hematological indices, no significant differences were found in mean hemoglobin or hematocrit between iron-deficient and non-deficient children.
In this cross-sectional study, serum iron and ferritin levels were measured across 127 children aged 6 months to 18 years with unrepaired cyanotic congenital heart disease.
Results underscore the critical need for routine assessment of iron status in patients with chronic hypoxia due to congenital heart conditions.
