Guidelines recommend upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopic evaluation for patients without a clear physiological explanation for iron deficiency anemia (IDA). However, the consequences of watchful waiting in older patients with unexplained IDA in general practice are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate characteristics and survival of patients with an unexplained IDA in general practice who refrain from medical specialist evaluation. Historical prospective study. Patients aged ≥70 years with IDA coded in their medical records were selected from the Dutch Academic General Practitioner Development Network (AHON) database. Based on their medical records, patients with an unexplained IDA were classified as (1) referred for medical specialist evaluation, or (2) no or noninvasive evaluation in general practice. Compared to patients who were referred for medical specialist evaluation (n = 235, 47.8%), patients who had no or noninvasive evaluation (n = 257; 52.5%) were older (median respectively 79 vs 82 years old, P < .01) and more likely to have congestive heart failure (respectively 17.4% and 26.1%, P = .02) and dementia (respectively 2.6% and 8.9%, P < .01). Two-year survival was significantly higher in patients who were referred for medical specialist evaluation compared to patients who had no or noninvasive evaluation (respectively, 83.9% and 75.5%, P = .02). Although mortality was significantly higher in the older and more comorbid patients who had no or noninvasive evaluation in general practice, survival was still high in this patient group. Therefore, non–guideline adherence and a wait-and-see approach could be discussed in a shared–decision-making consultation.
