Improved patient blood management and cost saving in hip replacement surgery through the implementation of pre-operative Sucrosomial® iron supplementation: a quality improvement assessment study.

Pre-operative sucrosomial iron supplementation at least 4 weeks prior to elective surgery in non-anaemic patients limits the drop in post-operative Hb levels, determining higher post-operative haemoglobin, quicker post-surgical recovery, shorter hospitalisation, and decreased surgery-related costs.
