The relationship of foetal haemoglobin (HbF) to several clinical and haematological parameters in 86 children aged 5 to 16 years who had sickle cell anaemia (SCA) has been examined. The mean HbF level was 6.8 +/- 3.6%. Higher HbF values were significantly associated with fewer blood transfusions, fewer hospital admissions and higher rate of hepatomegaly. A trend for children with higher HbF levels to have better physical development and a more normal haemogram was also noted though this was not statistically significant. |
