What the engine reports
Use the pediatric iron-deficiency pathway; this engine is adult-only.
Detected clinical pattern
Outside the Adult Pathway
Adult hemoglobin and ferritin thresholds do not apply to patients under 18. No classification was produced.
Evidence and rule trace · 1 rules
ID-SCOPE-01Pediatric patients routed out
Inputs: age 9
Routed to the pediatric iron-deficiency pathway; no adult classification produced.
Evidence
- EV-WHO-HB-2011 · World Health Organization. Haemoglobin concentrations for the diagnosis of anaemia and assessment of severity. Geneva: WHO; 2011.
Physician adjudication required. Clinical decision support for physician review. This output identifies laboratory patterns and safety considerations. It does not diagnose, find a cause, or select an iron product, dose or route. Physician adjudication is required.

Stage of iron deficiency
○ 1 · Stores depleted
Low ferritin, normal CBC
○ 2 · Iron-deficient erythropoiesis
Low TSAT or reticulocyte Hb, Hb still normal
○ 3 · Anemia
Hemoglobin below the WHO threshold
No stage is assigned for the values entered.
Against typical reference intervals
Iron studiesDrag or type
- <15 depleted
- 15–29 low
- 30–44 borderline
- 45–299
- 300–999 high
- >1000 very high
Calculated from iron ÷ TIBC when both are entered.
Above 5 mg/L the engine reads ferritin as inflammation-affected.
CBC
- <7 severe
- 7–11.9 anemia range
- 12–12.9 (men <13)
- ≥13
