Abstract

Anemia is the most common extraintestinal complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with approximately half of cases caused by iron deficiency (ID). Intravenous (IV) iron is the preferred ID anemia (IDA) treatment where oral iron is contraindicated, ineffective or not tolerated, or where correction of ID is urgent. The recent PHOSPHARE-IBD randomized controlled trial (RCT; ClinialTrials.gov ID NCT03466983) reported significantly higher incidence of hypophosphatemia after treatment with ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) than ferric derisomaltose (FDI). The present study objective was to evaluate the cost-utility of FDI versus FCM in patients with IBD in Italy.
