Abstract

Intravenous (IV) iron is the preferred and most efficacious treatment for patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) when oral iron cannot be used or where rapid iron delivery is required; however, IV infusions are invasive and e.g. require patients to be hospitalized or travel to specialist infusion units, which can have a detrimental effect on quality of life. The required number and duration of infusions varies between IV iron formulations. The aim of the present study was to elicit health state utility values (HSUVs) from a population of IDA-patients in China and to compare the results with a previous study conducted in the general population.
