Anemia of prematurity (AOP) is a multifactorial condition associated with congenital iron deficiency, low erythropoietin levels, a short lifespan of red blood cells, and iatrogenic blood loss. AOP is a common complication in premature infants that can adversely affect growth, development, and long-term neurocognitive outcomes. To standardize the diagnosis and treatment of AOP, the Neonatal Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee and the Neonatal Evidence-Based Medicine Group of the Commission of Neonatal Medicine of the Cross-Strait Medical and Health Exchange Association, along with the Editorial Office of the Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics, have developed the "Clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of anemia of prematurity (2025)", based on the World Health Organization's handbook for guideline development and the formulation/revision principles of Chinese clinical practice guidelines. This guideline addresses eight clinical issues related to AOP, including risk factors, early identification, etiological diagnosis, diagnostic criteria, early prevention, transfusion therapy, strategies to improve prognosis, and post-discharge follow-up. It presents 29 recommendations formed from current evidence and expert consensus, aiming to provide guidance and decision-making support for healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of AOP.
