Abstract

We would like to thank McMillan and colleagues for their interest in our paper. The authors comment on our interpretation of the PREVENTT trial1 . We fail to see the imprecision as we comment on that the PREVENTT trial included 18% patients without iron deficiency (82% with anaemia), and in the mentioned secondary analyses in table 3 in the PREVENTT trial 192/452 (42%) had a ferritin level ≥100, and 103/440 (23%) had a transferrin saturation ≥20. Thereby, the trial included non-iron deficient patients. This has been commented by several others as a limitation in the PREVENTT study2,3 .
