Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy tests of erythrocyte indexes in the differential diagnosis of beta thalassemia minor and iron deficiency anemia: A preliminary report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: The most common anemias are iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and beta-thalassemia minor (BTm). A correct differantiation of them is important in terms preventing unnecessary treatment also thalassemia disease. Considering the financial limitations specifically countries with high prevalence thalassemia, mathematical indices, which simpler solutions, have been used to achieve a differential diagnosis. 
 Materials Methods: Total 71 cases eligible for inclusion criteria were included study 11 indices examined. 46 BTm-group 25 IDA-group. accepted as positive-patient-group IDA-group control-group. Diagnostic evaluated erythrocyte indices.
 Results: highest Youden Index was seen Sirdah index (89.48%), followed by two identical performances Ehsani Mentzer (84.%), indicating that these three showed best diagnostic performance. There low performance (DOR

Differential Diagnosis of Microcytic Anemia, Thalassemia or Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis
We evaluated the most common indices to compare their sensitivity and specificity to introduce the most sensitive and specific index. We systematically searched five international indexing databases up to Dec 2018. For each index, we measured the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), as well as summary ROC (SROC) curve which was used to compare the performance of each index. Deeks̕ tests of all discrimin...
متن کاملUsing Data Mining Models for Differential Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia and β-thalassemia Minor
Introduction: One of the most common types of anemia is Iron deficiency anemia that its main differential diagnosis is β-thalassemia minor. The rapid and accurate screening of β-thalassemia minor has particular importance for pre-marriage medical counseling and the prevention of the birth of neonates with β-thalassemia major and differentiating it from iron deficiency anemia to avoid unnecessar...

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia trait are the two most common causes of hypochromic microcytic anemia. There are some discriminating functions (DFs) formula to differentiate these two conditions based on RBC's indices which would be compared the validity of the 14 various indices in this study. Correspond...

Introduction: Artificial neural networks are a type of systems that use very complex technologies and non-algorithmic solutions for problem solving. These characteristics make them suitable for various medical applications. This study set out to investigate the application of artificial neural networks for differential diagnosis of thalassemia minor and iron-deficiency anemia. Methods: It is...
