  • Title: Elevated iron indices in preterm infants: association with male gender.
    Author: Molloy EJ, El-Khuffash A, Bieda A, Jelinek MM, Baley J.
    Journal: Am J Perinatol; 2009 Jan; 26(1):7-11. PubMed ID: 19023849.
    Abstract:
    Elevated iron indices may be underrecognized in preterm infants. Sixty growing, stable preterm infants < 1500 g studied had elevated iron indices, which was especially elevated in male infants. Careful evaluation of iron indices is essential to prevent potential organ injury and unnecessary iron supplementation.
