EVALUATION OF LABORATORY TESTS FOR IRONDEFICIENCY BASED ON RESPONSE TOIRON ADMINISTRATION / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

3,= 4, the sensitivity and specificity in predicting response before iron administration were 77.4, 47.5; 71.7, 75.4; 52.8, 90.2; 18.9, 96.7 respectively. Both sensitivity and specificity were higher in two parameters combined, so that the two parameters combined to screen iron deficiency would be better. Because both sensitivity and specificity were higher in Hb and FEP/Hb, so we prefer Hb and FEP measurement for screening iron deficiency.
