Intravenous iron
Intravenous iron formulations for iron deficiency.
Key point
In chronic kidney disease, transferrin saturation and ferritin thresholds guide iron therapy, with intravenous iron preferred over oral iron in people receiving hemodialysis.

More internal medicine trends
All specialties →Deprescribing
Planned reduction or stopping of medicines that may no longer benefit the patient.
Key point: Deprescribing statins is suggested for older adults at end of life; continuation is suggested for primary or secondary prevention otherwise.
Hospital at home
Acute hospital-level care delivered in the patient's home.
Key point: Home hospitalization presents an effective strategy for comprehensive heart failure management, reducing hospital-related complications and promoting patient-centered care.
Remote patient monitoring
Tracking patients' vital signs and symptoms at home with connected devices.
Key point: Remote monitoring is a standard tool for managing patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices, offering early event detection, fewer routine visits, and reduced mortality.
Hyponatremia
Low blood sodium, its causes and correction.
Key point: Hyponatremia in cirrhosis should be worked up with dietary and medication history, electrolyte/kidney review, bleeding and infection assessment, and thyroid/adrenal evaluation.
Social determinants of health
Social and economic conditions that shape health outcomes.
Long COVID
Symptoms persisting or appearing after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Key point: Evidence-based recommendations suggest vaccination or antivirals during acute COVID-19 to prevent long COVID, but certainty is very low to moderate.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"intravenous iron"[tiab] OR "ferric carboxymaltose"[tiab] OR "ferric derisomaltose"[tiab]Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
