Optimized serum ferritin prediction of iron overload in transfusion-dependent thalassemia: likelihood ratio and age-adjustment approach
BACKGROUND: Early detection of iron overload in transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) patients is critical to prevent complications and improve survival. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the utility of serum ferritin (SF) in the prediction of hepatic and myocardial iron overload (HIO and MIO) compared to T2*-...
