Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if iron supplementation in addition to routine iron intake decreases the risk of developing anemia in preterm infants.

Primary Outcome

For infants discharged from the hospital before 36 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA), the last Hct before discharge was used. For infants transferred before 36 weeks PMA, the Hct at 36 weeks was sought from the receiving hospital and used if available. For infants transferred before 36 weeks with no available Hct at 36 weeks, the last Hct before transfer was used. For those who died before 36 weeks PMA, the Hct at 36 weeks was considered to be missing.
