Risk factors for death in patients with beta-thalassemia major: results of a case-control study

Adriana Ceci et al. Haematologica. 2006 Oct.

Abstract

This retrospective one to one matched case-control study was aimed at evaluating risk factors for death in beta-thalassemic patients followed in Italian centers between 1997 and 2001. The mortality risk was lower in patients with good compliance to iron chelation therapy and in those treated with deferiprone.
