Sensitivity and specificity of mean corpuscular volume testing for screening for α‐thalassemia‐1 and β‐thalassemia traits

24 May 2005

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) testing for screening for both alpha-thalassemia-1 and beta-thalassemia traits. METHODS: A diagnostic test was conducted on 439 pregnant women attending the antenatal care (ANC) clinic at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital between April 2002 and July 2002. Blood samples were...
