The Thal-index with the BTT prediction.exe to discriminate β-thalassaemia traits from other microcytic anaemias

<p>Several attempts have been made previously to differentiate &beta;-thalassaemia trait (BTT) from other microcytic anaemias using formulae with red cell (RC) parameters. Presently available formulae have low sensitivity and specificity. We wanted to develop a more precise algorithm, whic...
