    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>Change in hemoglobin concentration (g/dL) from baseline following iron therapy. Timepoint: Baseline and 12 weeks (3 months) after initiation of treatment. Method of measurement: Hemoglobin concentration (g/dL) will be measured using an automated hematology analyzer as part of routine laboratory investigations. The primary outcome will be calculated as the difference between baseline and 12-week hemoglobin values and compared between the oral iron and intravenous iron groups.</prim_outcome>
    </primary_outcome>
    <secondary_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Change in serum ferritin concentration (ng/mL). Timepoint: Baseline and 12 weeks (3 months) after initiation of treatment. Method of measurement: Serum ferritin will be measured using a validated immunoassay in the hospital laboratory. The change from baseline to 12 weeks will be compared between treatment groups.</sec_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Change in transferrin saturation (TSAT, %). Timepoint: Baseline and 12 weeks (3 months) after initiation of treatment. Method of measurement: TSAT (%) will be calculated using the formula TSAT) = (Serum Iron ÷ Total Iron-Binding Capacity) × 100. Serum iron and TIBC will be measured using standard biochemical assays, and the change from baseline will be compared between groups.</sec_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Requirement for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA). Timepoint: Baseline and 12 weeks (3 months) after initiation of treatment. Method of measurement: The proportion of participants requiring ESA therapy and the cumulative ESA dose administered during follow-up will be recorded from medical records.</sec_outcome>
      <sec_outcome>Requirement for blood transfusion. Timepoint: Throughout the 12-week follow-up period. Method of measurement: The number of participants requiring blood transfusion and the number of units transfused will be obtained from hospital records.</sec_outcome>
