Incidence of cancer and related deaths in hemoglobinopathies: A follow-up of 4631 patients between 1970 and 2021. [PDF]
Abstract Background The correlation between thalassemia and malignancies other than hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the possible relationship between other hemoglobinopathies and tumor risk have been poorly evaluated. Methods Eight Italian specialized centers evaluated the incidence of malignant neoplasms in hemoglobinopathies as well as their sites

Thalassaemia is paradoxically associated with a reduced risk of in-hospital complications and mortality in COVID-19: Data from an international registry. [PDF]
Abstract Although numerous patient‐specific co‐factors have been shown to be associated with worse outcomes in COVID‐19, the prognostic value of thalassaemic syndromes in COVID‐19 patients remains poorly understood. We studied the outcomes of 137 COVID‐19 patients with a history of transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia (TDT) and transfusion independent ...

Abstract Background The average hemoglobin content of red cell concentrates (RCC) varies depending on the method of preparation. Surprisingly less data are available concerning the clinical impact of those differences. Study Design and Methods The effects of two types of RCC (RCC‐A, RCC‐B) on transfusion regime were compared in a non‐blinded ...

Selecting β‐thalassemia Patients for Gene Therapy: A Decision‐making Algorithm
This expert opinion originally developed by a panel of the Italian Society of Thalassemias and Hemoglobinopathies (SITE), reviewed and adopted by the European Hematology Association (EHA) through the EHA Scientific Working Group on Red Cells and Iron, has been developed as priority decision‐making algorithm on evidence and consensus with the aim to ...

Long-term treatment with deferiprone enhances left ventricular ejection function when compared to deferoxamine in patients with thalassemia major [PDF]
Transfusion and iron chelation treatment have significantly reduced morbidity and improved survival of patients with thalassemia major. However, cardiac disease continues to be the most common cause of death.

Serial echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction measurements: a tool for detecting thalassemia major patients at risk of cardiac death [PDF]
Cardiac damage remains a major cause of mortality among patients with thalassemia major. The detection of a lower cardiac magnetic resonance T2* (CMR-T2*) signal has been suggested as a powerful predictor of the subsequent development of heart failure ...
