Summary
Joint recommendations from Polish paediatric, haematology-oncology, neonatology and family medicine societies on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia from birth to 18 years. Developed from literature review, clinical experience and expert discussion, they address iron deficiency as a common nutritional deficiency with systemic and developmental consequences. The guidance applies to the general paediatric population rather than specific conditions, with some relevance to infants and neonatal follow-up.
