more likely to be men, were in a worse NYHA class, had a lower eGFR and haemoglobin and higher but LVEF, TSAT (16 [11 to 21] %) and ferritin were similar to other quartiles. Increases in haemoglobin with FDI compared to control in the oldest quartile at 4 months (+0.7 [+0.4 to +1.0] g/dL) and 12 months (+0.9 [+0.5 to +1.3] g/dL) were similar to that in other quartiles. The hazard ratio for the primary endpoint in the oldest quartile was 0.66 (0.45 to 0.96), which was not significantly different from that for other age quartiles. The results were similar when restricted to patients with a TSAT <20%. Conclusions The increase in haemoglobin with IV FDI and its effect on the primary endpoint rate were not diminished by age.
