Abstract
The prevalence of non-anaemic iron deficiency among the surgical population is high. However, evidence regarding its impact on surgical patients' outcomes is scant and conflicting. Therefore, further investigations using an appropriate definition of non-anaemic iron deficiency and measuring relevant postoperative outcomes are needed to verify previous studies to determine whether non-anaemic iron deficiency is more than just a laboratory finding.
