Sickle cell anemia: iron availability and nocturnal oximetry.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that low iron availability, measured as transferrin saturation, is associated with low nocturnal hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) in children with homozygous sickle cell anemia (SCA; hemoglobin SS). METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of Tanzanian c...
