IRONCARE: Iron Treatment in Older Patients With Hip Fractures

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intravenous (IV) iron therapy compared to alternate-day oral iron treatment and no supplementation in older patients with hip fractures. This study will examine the impact of iron treatment on fatigue, functional decline, fear of falling, cognitive impairment, and quality of life, as well as its effects on iron stores and hemoglobin levels, with the overall goal of improving postoperative rehabilitation. The trial will be conducted on five different hospitals in the Central Region of Denmark (Region Midtjylland).

Daily and Weekly Iron Supplementation in Infants

This study aims to compare the efficacy of daily iron supplementation and weekly iron supplementation in infants aged 6-12 months on the prevalence of anemia, hemoglobin level, and serum ferritin levels. Infants will be enrolled at 6 months and will be randomly assigned to receive either daily or weekly iron supplementation for the first 3 months and will be followed by weekly iron supplementation for another 3 months.

A Study on the Correlation Between Tear Iron Levels and the Severity of Dry Eye Disease.

This study aims to see if the amount of iron in tears is linked to how severe dry eye disease is. We hope this can lead to a new way to help diagnose and understand dry eye. This is an observational study. We will compare tear samples from people with dry eye to samples from people with healthy eyes. We will measure the iron content in the tears and see if it correlates with standard dry eye test results and symptom scores.

Impact of IV Iron on Bleeding Symptoms in Iron Deficient Patients With Inherited Bleeding Disorders

This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center observational study evaluating the impact of intravenous (IV) iron replacement in patients with inherited bleeding disorders and iron deficiency (ferritin \<50ng/dL). Subjects will undergo baseline bleeding assessments, quality-of-life measures, and laboratory tests before receiving standard-of-care IV iron. Follow-up blood work and questionnaires will be conducted post-replacement to assess for changes

Oslo Footballplayers Iron Supplementation and Training (FIT) Study

The aim of the study is to characterize the diet and iron status of young female elite football players and examine the relationship between iron intake, iron status, hemoglobin levels, intestinal health and sports performance. In addition, the effects of low-dose iron supplements on iron stores will be investigated and whether such supplementation affects intestinal health, microbiota composition and biomarkers for oxidative stress.
