Summary

This study looks at whether giving iron supplements to children with low iron before hip surgery can reduce their need for blood transfusions and improve recovery. The trial includes 180 children aged 0-18 who are scheduled for a specific type of hip surgery, many of whom have cerebral palsy. Participants will follow a nutrition program that may include iron supplements before their operation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * All patients scheduled for VDRO and/or pelvic osteotomy surgery (prospective cohort) * All patients who had VDRO and/or pelvic osteotomy surgery between February 2022 and December 2024 (historical cohort) * Ages 0-18 years old Note that the investigators will include patients who do or do not have a diagnosis of a neuromotor condition. The investigators may not include patients who are enrolled in other conflicting research studies. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have undergone a major surgical intervention in the last 3 months * Patients who have received a nutritional intervention that includes iron testing and treatment within the last 3 months * Patients in whom oral/enteral iron supplementation is contraindicated * Patients who have a bleeding disorder * Patients taking erythropoietin * Patients who cannot read and understand English\* * Patients and their families who cannot read and understand English will be excluded from the study because the surveys and interviews are conducted in English. These patients will still have access to the same nutrition management and interventions as study participants.
