The utility of inpatient anemia workup in hemoglobin < 10 g/dL diagnosed randomly in the third trimester: a retrospective study.

Inpatient anemia investigation and treatment resulted in higher peri-delivery hemoglobin. In women randomly diagnosed with anemia at hospitalization, the rate of pre-delivery hemoglobin > 11 g/dL was increased among those who underwent a simple anemia investigation and treatment initiation.
