Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 289179 0
The proportion of patients with systolic BP less than 80mmHg during iron infusion compoared to the proportion of patients with systolic BP less than 80mmHg in the first 15 min after induction of anaesthesia. Statistical comparison using fishers exact test.

Statistical methods / analysis
We are planning a study of independent cases and controls with 1 control(s) per case. Prior data indicate that the failure rate (incidence of hypotension after induction) among controls is 0.2. If the true failure rate ( incidence of hypotension during iron infusion) for experimental subjects is 0.04, we will need to study 85 experimental subjects and 85 control subjects to be able to reject the null hypothesis that the failure rates for experimental and control subjects are equal with probability (power) 0.85. The Type I error probability associated with this test of this null hypothesis is 0.05. We will use a continuity-corrected chi-squared statistic or Fisher’s exact test to evaluate this null hypothesis.

Calculated Sample Size = 85
To adjust for dropouts, failed data collection, or optimistic sample size assumptions we aim to recruit 100 patients.
