Title

PREVALENCE OF THALASSEMIA TRAIT & IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA DURING INFANCY IN 2011-2013 IN A THALASSEMIA PREVALENT REGION: NORTH CYPRUS

Pages

Abstract

 Background: IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA (IDA) is an important health problem all around the world especially in developing countries. In the Mediterranean countries another prevelant reason of ANEMIA is Thalassemia. Certain strategies had been established as a government policy to reduce prevalence in North Cyprus, such as pre-marital screening of Thalassemia. The prevalence of THALASSEMIA TRAIT has not been evaluated since then. The aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of IDA, THALASSEMIA TRAIT in INFANTs under regular follow-up and to evaluate the compliance to prophylactic iron supplementation (PIS) and its effect on IDA.Methods: Healthy children admitted to Department of Pediatrics, Near East University Hospital, in 2011–2013 were included. Data of anthropometric measurements, parental THALASSEMIA TRAIT status, duration of PIS usage, complete blood count, ferritin levels and hemoglobin electrophoresis were collected from hospital database program. Anemic children were grouped as IDA, THALASSEMIA TRAIT, both IDA and THALASSEMIA TRAIT and others.Results: Eıghty-nine INFANTs with a mean age 13.52±2.09 mo were included. Compliance with PIS recommendation was 85.3% and, the mean duration of iron usage was 6.44±3.18 mo. IDA and THALASSEMIA TRAIT were found to be 11.2% and 4.5% respectively, while 3.4% of the INFANTs had both IDA and THALASSEMIA TRAIT.Conclusion: Prevalence of THALASSEMIA TRAIT was 7.9% demonstrating approximately a 50% decline within 5 decades. This result confirms the success of premarital screening policy in North Cyprus. In addition, prevalence of IDA was relatively low being 14.6% supporting the beneficial effect of PIS on prevention of IDA.
