Implication

Observational analysis reveals high incidence of iron deficiency in very preterm infants, suggesting gestational hypertension significantly impacts risk at NICU discharge.

Key Points

Iron deficiency was diagnosed in 31% of very preterm infants at NICU discharge.
Infants with iron deficiency received fewer blood transfusions during NICU stay, median 1 (IQR: 2).
Retrospective population-based cohort study identified gestational hypertension as an independent predictor of iron deficiency.
Findings highlight the need for rigorous monitoring of iron status in vulnerable preterm infants.
