Iron deficiency anemia, which occurs when iron deficiency has progressed to iron-deficient
erythropoiesis, is the most common cause of anemia worldwide, accounting for about 50% of cases.
Anemia is defined by hemoglobin (Hb) levels according to the Centers for Disease Control
Evaluation
Screening:
pregnancy
o reported prevalence of anemia during pregnancy from all causes 5.4% in the United
States to > 80% in developing countries
o estimated prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women 10 to 20%
