Minho Model was developed in a cohort of patients over 18 years old with iron deficiency anemia, defined as hemoglobin (Hb) lower than 13g/dL for men and 12g/dL for women, and either ferritin <15µg/L or transferrin saturation <20%. From this cohort the authors excluded patients with overt gastrointestinal or extra-gastrointestinal bleeding, total gastrectomy and exclusively vegetarian diet. Please note that Minho Model is still under prospective validation and therefore results obtained from this score should be interpreted with caution.
