Webinar Description
Iron deficiency in women in common (about 40% of American women; more worldwide), and this is especially significant for women who are contemplating pregnancy or are pregnant. That's because low iron levels are associated with worse maternal outcomes and neurodevelopmental problems in children. The diagnostic tests are straightforward, and treatment is readily available with oral iron or an intravenous infusion. Yet, this is not being done routinely. Using source material from medical journal articles, this presentation will enable clinicians at all levels (and patients and family members) to understand this and advocate for better care.
