Our objective was to learn about the current prescribing practices of obstetrical providers at multiple hospitals, including indications and regimens used; further, we sought to understand how these practices are learned.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 10\u2010question web\u2010based survey was developed via expert consensus. The survey was distributed via email to obstetrical providers (including trainees) practising at seven hospitals affiliated with the University of Toronto, including from Obstetrics &amp; Gynaecology (OBGYN), Family Practice (FP\u2010OB) and midwifery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The survey was directly sent to 469 participants and 140 responses were collected from the direct email recruitment pool (response rate 30%). Half of respondents were OBGYN physicians. The most common indication was a post\u2010partum haemoglobin threshold of 90\u2009g\/L. Both intravenous and oral formulations were used; the most common oral formulation was ferrous fumarate (77%). Prescribing practices were most commonly shaped using passed\u2010down knowledge.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Through this survey, we have learned about the most common post\u2010partum iron supplementation indications, formulations and regimens used in both academic and community hospitals in the greater Toronto area. This insight will help inform future studies investigating the efficacy of oral iron supplementation in the treatment of post\u2010partum anaemia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tme.12874","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,13]],"date-time":"2022-05-13T08:53:51Z","timestamp":1652432031000},"page":"428-432","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Survey of iron prescribing practices for post\u2010partum anaemia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Ana\u2010Maria","family":"Iancu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nir","family":"Melamed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5562-9020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yulia","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Precision Diagnostics and Therapeutics Program Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"},{"name":"Quality in Utilization, Education and Safety in Transfusion (QUEST) Research Program University of Toronto  Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.Guideline: Iron Supplementation in Postpartum Women.
