“…The aPTT can be normal in females with mild hemophilia where delayed and missed diagnoses are frequent [ 11 ]. Factor level activity has not been shown to correlate strongly with bleeding phenotype and affected females with levels in the normal range can exhibit HMB [ 2 , 12 ]. The inclusion of expanded hemostatic testing is critical for those with HMB and concern for an underlying bleeding disorder.…”

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and non‐anemic iron deficiency (NAID) are highly prevalent among non‐pregnant females of reproductive age. Canada has no national screening guidelines for this population. Screening, when performed, is often with a complete blood count alone without ferritin or iron indices. The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of screening for NAID and IDA over a 3‐year period in non‐pregnant females of reproductive age who had tests performed at outpatient laboratories in Ontario, Canada. Retrospective cohort study of non‐pregnant females ages 15–54 in Ontario, from 2017 to 2019. NAID was defined as ferritin <30 μg/L, anemia as hemoglobin <120 g/L, and IDA as ferritin <30 μg/L and hemoglobin <120 g/L. Annual household income was estimated using patient postal codes. A total of 784 132 non‐pregnant females were included. The 82.1% were screened for iron deficiency, 38.3% had NAID and 13.1% had IDA; 55.6% with IDA had normal mean corpuscular volumes. The median household income was $89454.80 compared with a provincial median of $65285.00. Patients in the lowest income quintile had the highest odds of being anemic, and the lowest odds of having a ferritin checked. A large proportion of non‐pregnant females of reproductive age in this cohort were screened for iron deficiency. In this relatively privileged cohort, NAID affected nearly 40%, and IDA 13%. Most patients with IDA did not have microcytosis. Low household income was associated with the greatest odds of anemia and the lowest odds of being screened, highlighting inequitable access to screening for IDA in Ontario, Canada.
