Overview

Infrequent iron study availability during decompensated HF admissions highlights a care gap; leaves open whether routine testing improves outcomes.

Structured PICO

What is the frequency and what are the predictors of iron deficiency screening in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure?

P
Population
2,275 patient admissions for decompensated heart failure
I
Intervention
Iron deficiency screening (iron studies)
O
Outcome
Availability of iron studies

Despite guidelines, iron deficiency screening in acute heart failure remains low and is primarily driven by anemia rather than heart failure status.
