Intravenous infusions of ferumoxytol compared to oral ferrous sulfate for the treatment of anemia in pregnancy: a randomized controlled trial. American journal of obstetrics & gynecology MFM, 5(9), 101064.More infoIron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy is highly prevalent and presents significant risk to patients.
