Mean hemoglobin (Hgb) among n=100 pediatric UC patients admitted to BCH between 2003 and 2014 for management of moderate to severe UC disease activity who were anemic at discharge. Results are from a repeated-measures mixed model with adjustment for Hgb at discharge. Shown are mean ± standard error. There was no difference in mean Hgb at discharge (P=0.35). Subjects with iron supplementation experienced a statistically significant increase in mean Hgb by the follow-up clinic visit, while those without iron supplementation did not (mean increase 2.0±0.3 vs. 0.2±0.2 gm/dL, respectively; P<0.0001).
