Longitudinal Predictors of Leg Ulceration in Thalassaemia Syndromes: Evidence for a Critical Haemoglobin Threshold in E-β Thalassaemia

2026-07-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Leg ulceration is a debilitating complication of thalassaemia syndromes, particularly among patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia (NTDT). Although chronic anaemia is considered a major contributor, clinically relevant haemoglobin (Hb) thresholds associated with ulcer development remain poorly defined. <h4>Methods:</h4> We conducted a retrospective longitudinal cohort study of p...
