PubMedID: 30300449 Objectives: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of deferasirox therapy in a large observational cohort of children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) and sickle cell anemia (SCA) in Turkey. Methods: This was a multicenter, prospective cohort study including TDT and SCA patients aged 2-18 years with iron overload (?100 mL/kg of pRBC or a serum ferritin [SF] level >1000 µg/L) receiving deferasirox. Patients were followed for up to 3 years according to standard practice. Results: A total of 439 patients were evaluated (415 [94.5%] TDT, 143 [32.6%] between 2 and 6 years).
