Abstract: Background: The risk factors for anemia of prematurity (AOP) among late preterm infants are unelucidated. We identified risk factors for declining hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and triggering factors for AOP treatment in infants born at 30-35 gestational weeks. Methods: From 2012 to 2020, we conducted a single-center retrospective study of infants born at 30-35 weeks of gestation without congenital anomalies or severe hemorrhage. The primary outcome was AOP development, defined by initiation of treatments including red blood cell transfusion, subcutaneous injections of erythropoietin, and iron supplementation. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to investigate potential risk factors for AOP. Results: A total of 358 infants were included. Lower gestational age (odds ratio, 0.19; 95% confidence interval 0.11-0.32), small for gestational age (SGA; 7.17, 2.15-23.9), low maternal Hb level before birth (0.66, 0.49-0.87), low Hb at birth (0.71, 0.57-0.89), and multiple large blood samplings (1.79; 1.40-2.29) showed significantly higher odds for AOP development. Conclusions: Gestational age, SGA, low maternal Hb before birth, Hb at birth, and high number of large blood samplings were positively associated with AOP development in infants born at 30-35 gestational weeks.
