Effects of Oral Iron on Postoperative Fatigue Upon Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patients

NCT01912261

RandomizedParallel-groupTriple-blindTreatment

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to examine how an oral iron supplement (Feramax®) influences fatigue during early postoperative recovery (at three months) among CABG patients and, the effects on recovery outcomes (e.g. quality of life, functional capacity, anemia, and medication adherence). It is hypothesized that CABG surgery patients receiving oral iron (Feramax®) 150mg orally (once a day therapy) will have a 15% reduction in POF (measured by the Identity Consequence Fatigue Scale (ICFS)), compared to patients receiving a placebo.
