BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia trait (TT) are the most common conditions of microcytic hypochromic anemia (MHA) in pregnant women. We used the BC-6800Plus analyzer to study the utility of erythrocyte and reticulocyte parameters for distinguishing TT from IDA in pregnant women.
METHODS: A total of 454 anemic pregnant women, including 340 with IDA, 66 with β-thalassemia trait (β-TT) and 48 with α-thalassemia trait (α-TT), were included. Multiple comparisons among groups were performed, and diagnostic performance of parameters was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, with P<0.05 indicating statistical significance.
RESULTS: Reticulocyte production index (RPI) and the average volume of mature red blood cells (MCVm) in the IDA group were significantly higher than in the β-TT and α-TT groups. Red blood cell (RBC), reticulocyte percentage (Ret%), and RPI in the IDA group were significantly lower than in the α-TT and β-TT groups. We devised MHA 1=0.42× MCH -0.57× RPI -0.08× %MICROr -9.38 to distinguish IDA from α-TT. With a cut-off value of 0.61, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were 0.868, 90.9%, and 68.5%, respectively. We devised MHA 2=0.04× %MICROr +0.12× MCVm -13.76× Ret# -6.29 to distinguish IDA from β-TT. With a cut-off value of 0.55, the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.878, 81.3%, and 80.3%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Erythrocyte indices and formulas can be used as initial methods for the differential diagnosis of TT and IDA. MHA 1 and MHA 2 were the most useful indices in the differential diagnosis of α-TT from IDA and β-TT from IDA in pregnant women.
