Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Male or female; aged ≥ 18 years
- Planned to undergo non-cardiac surgery (e.g., orthopaedic, vascular, visceral surgery) within 28 to 42 days, which requires a fast replenishment of the patients' iron stores (e.g.if it is not appropriate to postpone surgery) as judged by the treating physician
- Iron deficiency defined as s-ferritin \<100 ng/mL and s-transferrin saturation \<20%
- Relevant anaemia defined as haemoglobin of \<12 g/dL for female and \<13 g/dL for men
- Written informed consent; willing and able to comply with the protocol
Exclusion
- Pregnancy in female patients or breastfeeding women
- Female patients not willing to use a safe method of contraception (PEARL index \<1) for the full study period
- Severe anaemia with Hb \< 8 g/dL
- Any ingoing bleeding as judged by the treating physician
- Patients receiving blood transfusion 24 weeks prior screening
- Severe physical inability, e.g., American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status IV or V
- Haematuria and proteinuria of unknown or known origin
- Non-iron deficiency anaemia, e.g., known Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, haemoglobinopathy, or unexplained anaemia
- Anticipated medical need for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents during the study period
- Patients with any contraindication to the investigational products, e.g.,
- known sensitivity to iron or an ingredient of the investigational products

- Serum Creatinine \> 150 μmol/L
- Active uncontrolled immune-mediated diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease
- Primary haematologic disease
- Drug or alcohol abuse according to WHO definition
- Potentially unreliable patients, and those judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for the study
- Current or previous participation in another clinical trial during the last 90 days before screening
- Exclusion criteria related to Ferrous sulfate
- according to summary of product characteristics (SmPC)
- hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation
- concomitant parenteral iron
- haemochromatosis, and other iron overload syndromes
- Exclusion criteria related to Ferric Carboxymaltose:
- according to SmPC
- hypersensitivity to the active substance, to Ferinject or any of its excipients
- known serious hypersensitivity to other parenteral iron products
- anaemia not attributed to iron deficiency
- evidence of iron overload or disturbances in the utilisation of iron
- Exclusion criteria related to Polyglucoferron f) hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation
- known serious hypersensitivity to other parenteral iron products
- anaemia not attributed to iron deficiency
- evidence of iron overload or disturbances in the utilisation of iron
