Introducción: La administración de hierro intravenoso es un procedimiento cada vez más frecuente en plantas de hospitalización y hospitales de día debido a la aparición de nuevos preparados y a la ampliación de indicaciones terapéuticas de los mismos. Como efecto adverso se ha observado la aparición de hipofosfatemia. Objetivos: Determinar la incidencia, gravedad, y factores relacionados con la aparición de hipofosfatemia en los pacientes a los que se les administró hierro intravenoso. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio de cohortes prospectivo de pacientes de la planta de Medicina Interna o el Hospital de día, que recibieron una formulación de hierro intravenoso. Se analizaron los niveles de fósforo antes y después de la administración del preparado, y los factores asociados con la aparición de hipofosfatemia. Se hizo un seguimiento de un año. Resultados: Incluimos 85 pacientes con una edad media de 73,5 años. Se observó hipofosfatemia en 17 (20%) pacientes y de ellos el 94.1% recibieron hierro carboximaltosa. El único factor asociado con la hipofosfatemia fue el sexo femenino (HR 4,847, IC95% 1,275-18,423; p=0,021). La aparición de hipofosfatemia no se asoció con la hospitalización o la muerte en el año posterior. Conclusiones: La hipofosfatemia relacionada con la administración de hierro intravenoso es un evento frecuente a tener en cuenta en la práctica médica diaria, sin embargo, no se ha relacionado con un aumento de la mortalidad ni de los reingresos. El sexo femenino podría ser un factor de riesgo añadido. Se necesitan estudios más amplios para confirmar este hallazgo. Introduction: Intravenous iron administration is a frequent procedure in wards and day-hospitals due to the existence of new pharmacological preparations and more therapeutic indications. Hypophosphatemia has been observed as an adverse effect. Objective: To determine the incidence, severity and factors associated with the ocurrence of hypophosphatemia in patients who received intravenous iron. Patients and methods: Prospective cohort study that included patients from Internal Medicine ward and day-hospital, who received an intravenous iron preparation. We measured serum phosphorus levels before and after iron administration, and studied the factors associated with the ocurrence of hypophosphatemia. A follow-up of the patients was carried out for a year. Results: We included 85 patients with a mean age of 73.5 years. Hypophosphatemia was detected hypophosphatemia in 17 (20%), and 94.1% of the have received ferric carboxymaltose. Female gender was associated with hypophosphatemia (HR 4.847, 95%CI 1.275-18.423; p=0.021). The ocurrence of hypophosphatemia was not associated with mortality or hospitalization after one-year follow-up. Conclusions: Hypophosphatemia after with intravenous iron administration is a frequent adverse effect, but it is not associated with mortality or hospitalization. Hypophosphatemia could be associated with female gender, but we need more studies to confirm this association.
