The study aimed to determine the effects of liposomal iron pyrophosphate/ascorbic acid on clinical and psychological outcomes in pregnant women with iron deficiency anaemia. Results showed significant improvements in haematological and mental health outcomes, as well as overall quality of life, suggesting that Sideremil(TM) may be an effective treatment for pregnant women with iron deficiency anaemia. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.
This study aimed to determine the effects of liposomal iron pyrophosphate/ascorbic acid on clinical and psychological outcomes in pregnant women. Women at the 11th-13th weeks of gestation with iron deficiency anaemia assuming Sideremil (TM) from April 2018 to May 2019 were recruited. Haematochemical, obstetric, neonatal and psychological outcomes were investigated at the enrolment, 21-23 weeks of gestation, 30-32 weeks of gestation and after 6 weeks from childbirth. Results showed significant positive effects on haemoglobin, ferritin, sideremia and transferrin levels, compared to baseline data. A significant improvement of anxiety and depression levels was also observed. Regarding the quality of life, all the domains significantly improved, especially the Physical Role domain. Our results indicate that Sideremil((TM)) may be a valid treatment for iron deficiency anaemia in pregnant women, since it significantly improves haematological and mental health outcomes. However, further studies are needed to confirm these results.
