Abstract

β- THALASSEMIA major is a hereditary disorder which is relatively common in our country. One of its complications is SCOLIOSIS. In this study one hundred thalassemic children from KERMAN and its districts were studied for SCOLIOSIS. The variables such as age, sex, sexual maturation, splenectomy, early administration of deferoxamin and its dosage, osteopenia, time of first transfusion, location of SCOLIOSIS and its severity were studied. Ninety-three (93%) had some degree of SCOLIOSIS; 35 (36%) mild (less than5), 43 (42.6%) moderate (5-9), and 15 (16.1%) had severe SCOLIOSIS (above 10 degree). It was shown that prevalence of SCOLIOSIS was not related to inadequate transfusion however its severity was related to inadequate transfusion. Previous studies have also shown that hyper transfusion and higher levels of hemoglobin have resulted in better quality of life and lesser physical complications in these patients. Therefore it is recommended that improvement should be made in blood transfusion for these kind of patients.
