4. Figure 3
Kaplan-Meier survival curves for bacterial infections (bacteremia and pneumonia) stratified by iron storage indices prior to initiation of intravenous iron therapy. Functional iron deficiency is defined as ferritin = 100 to 800 ng/mL and transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%; iron deficiency, ferritin <100 ng/mL and TSAT <20%; and iron replete state, ferritin = 100 to 800 ng/mL and TSAT >20%.
