Journal ArticleDOI
Hematological indices for differential diagnosis of Beta thalassemia trait and iron deficiency anemia.
Aysel Vehapoglu,Gamze Ozgurhan,Aysegul Dogan Demir,Selcuk Uzuner,Mustafa Atilla Nursoy,Serdar Turkmen,Arzu Kacan +6 more
TL;DR: The Mentzer index was the most reliable index, as it had the highest sensitivity, specificity, and Youden's index for detecting β-TT for detecting IDA and this was followed by the Ehsani index.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of automated measurement of RBC subpopulations in differential diagnosis of microcytic anemia and β-thalassemia screening.
TL;DR: The % microcytic - % hypochromic - RDW was the most reliable index evaluated, with 100% sensitivity and 92.6% specificity, and can be used to efficiently screen patients with microcytosis for further hematologic studies to confirm β-thalassemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of indices in differentiation between iron deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia trait for Chinese children.
TL;DR: Green and King Index, Ricerca Index, and England and Fraser Index could be used in discrimination between IDA and β-TT in Chinese children.

TL;DR: None of the formulas appears reliable in discriminating between TT and IDA patients, and the evaluation of iron status and measurement of hemoglobin A2 (HbA2) remain the most reliable investigations.

Red Cell Indices and Formulas Used in Differentiation of β-Thalassemia Trait from Iron Deficiency in Thai Adults.
Soontharee Plengsuree,Manoo Punyamung,Jintana Yanola,Siriporn Nanta,Kanokwan Jaiping,Kritsanee Maneewong,Sanchai Wongwiwatthananukit,Sakorn Pornprasert +7 more
TL;DR: The RDW/RBC formula proved to be the most reliable index as they had 100.0% specificity and PPV and the highest efficiency and Youden’s Index, and could be used in initial discrimination of β-thal trait from iron deficiency in adult Thai subjects.

TL;DR: It is found that the Shine and Lal, Srivastava, and Mentzler indexes, MCV, and MCH have better discriminative function than the RBC count and red cell distribution width and their related formulas.
