Abstract

The prevalence of preoperative anaemia in this surgical population is comparable to that reported in larger European studies. Ferritin measurement is part of the diagnostic evaluation and treatment stratification of anaemia. The low rate of preoperative ferritin testing suggests a potential for improvement in the preoperative optimisation of haemoglobin levels.
