Abstract
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends universal hemoglobin screening for iron deficiency anemia using hemoglobin <110 g/L at the 1-year-old well child visit. Our retrospective study suggests the need for combined hemoglobin and serum ferritin iron deficiency screening and raising the diagnostic serum ferritin threshold to 24-25 μg/L.
