Iron Deficiency and All-Cause Hospitalization Risk in a Clinical Cohort of COPD.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of iron deficiency on COPD morbidity independent of anemia status is unknown. Understanding the association between iron deficiency, anemia status, and risk of hospitalization in COPD may inform an approach to these comorbidities.

Study design and methods

Adults ≥40 years from the Johns Hopkins COPD Precision Medicine Center of Excellence data repository with an outpatient iron profile and 1 year of subsequent follow-up time were included in the study. Baseline characteristics were compared across iron status, defined by transferrin saturation (TSAT), using t-tests and Chi-squared tests. The association between continuous TSAT and all-cause hospitalization over the 1-year follow-up period was assessed by logistic regression. Models were adjusted
