Screening and Treatment of Iron Deficiency anaemia

South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust did not have the information requested.

Dear South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

I would like to request information regarding the screening and treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in patients listed for major elective blood loss surgery.

In the last 12 months available data, how many patients listed for major elective blood loss surgery were screened 6 weeks prior to the procedure for iron deficiency anaemia? How many patients were not?

Of the patients who were screened and anaemia was present had serum ferritin levels tested?

Of those patients diagnosed with iron-deficiency anaemia, how many were offered appropriate iron treatment?

Below are the OPCS codes to be considered when reviewing major elective blood loss surgery:
K453 W373 M022
K262 W383 L294
K255 W384 L601
H072 W374 L593
H333 Q074 L194
H071 Q075 L295
H336 W403 W371
H073 W402 W381
H074 M025 W941
M341 M021 W401
M343 M039

If at all possible, could you provide a break down for each answer by what CCG the patients came from?

Yours faithfully,

BEN HOLDSWORTH

Good morning

 

Thank you for your recent request for information made under the Freedom
of Information Act 2000.

 

Your request has been sent to the relevant department and they have asked
for clarification on the following:

 

We do not record the level of detail you require, we can provide how many
admissions were recorded with the stated OPCS codes. Please could you
clarify if this is something you would require.

 

Your request will now be put on hold until the Trust receives a response
from you.  Once a satisfactory reply has been provided the 20 working day
response period will start again.  If no response to the request for
clarification has been received within two months of this email, the
request will be considered closed.

 

Kind regards
