Relationship between Serum Ferritin and Outcomes in β-Thalassemia: A Systematic Literature Review
Among the difficulties of living with β-thalassemia, patients frequently require blood transfusions and experience iron overload. As serum ferritin (SF) provides an indication of potential iron overload, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to assess whether SF levels are associated wit...

description | Among the difficulties of living with β-thalassemia, patients frequently require blood transfusions and experience iron overload. As serum ferritin (SF) provides an indication of potential iron overload, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to assess whether SF levels are associated with clinical and economic burden and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The SLR was conducted on 23 April 2020 and followed by analysis of the literature. Dual-screening was performed at the title, abstract, and full-text levels using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ten studies identified by the SLR were eligible for inclusion in the analysis. Seven studies were conducted in Europe, and most were prospective or retrospective in design. The patient populations had a median age of 20.7–42.6 years, with a percentage of men of 38–80%. Sparse data were found on the correlation between SF levels and mortality, and hepatic, skeletal, and cardiac complications; however, in general, higher SF levels were associated with worsened outcomes. The bulk of the evidence reported on the significant association between higher SF levels and endocrine dysfunction in its many presentations, including a 14-fold increase in the risk of diabetes for patients with persistently elevated SF levels. No studies reporting data on PROs or economic burden were identified by the SLR. SF levels provide another option for prognostic assessment to predict a range of clinical outcomes in patients with β-thalassemia. |
