To date, only few small series focusing on pregnancy
outcomes among the women complicated with thalassemia
syndrome have been reported. Moreover, based on such
series, the eVect of the disease on pregnancy outcomes has
been controversial. Some studies demonstrated favorable
outcome with intensive treatment [4, 10, 11], whereas the
others showed marked impact on adverse outcomes [12,
13]. Therefore, a large study on this issue is still required.
The objective of this study was to determine the maternal
and fetal outcomes of women complicated with thalassemia
syndrome.
