RELIABILITY OF DIFFERENT RBC INDICES AND FORMULAS IN DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN Β-THALASSEMIA MINOR AND OTHER CAUSES OF MICROCYTIC HYPOCHROMIC ANEMIA
Objective: Different indices and formulas of CBC parameters have been suggested as indicators of early stage screenings to detect couples with β-thalassemia minor (BTM). In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of five previous published formulas and compared them to our new formula (│80-MCV│×│27-MC...
