Article Synopsis
- - Oral iron is the primary treatment for iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy, and a pilot randomized trial was conducted to assess different dosing schedules (daily, every other day, and three times a week) on various outcomes in non-anemic pregnant women.
- - Of the 300 participants, overall adherence to the supplementation was 82.5%, with better adherence in the alternate day and three times a week groups (62% and 61%, respectively) compared to the daily group (47%).
- - Results indicated that the daily iron dosing may help maintain hemoglobin levels better, but many reported side effects overlapped with typical pregnancy symptoms. More extensive trials are needed to confirm the benefits of oral iron supplementation for preventing iron deficiency anemia.
This study investigated the challenges and facilitators of occupational epidemiology (OE) research in the UK, and evaluated the impact of these challenges. Semi-structured in-depth interviews with leading UK-based OE researchers, and a survey of UK-based OE researchers were conducted. Seven leading researchers were interviewed, and there were 54 survey respondents.
