Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to determine changes across the observation period. The mean age of the 66 patients diagnosed with SCA (homozygous HbS mutation) was 32.9 (standard deviation ± 11.5) years, and 57.6% were males. Over the 12-month observation period, Group A had significantly fewer VOCs (3.48 ± 2.81) and packed red blood cell transfusions (3.61 ± 2.19) than Group B (11.36 ± 4.20 VOCs; 13.27 ± 3.70 transfusions) (p = 0.0001). There was a significant increase in Hb (8.2 ± 1.8 to 11.8 ± 1.2 g/dL), a decrease in HbS% (72.5 ± 5.5 to 64.5 ± 5.4), and a rise in HbF% (18.9 ± 5.1 to 28.4 ± 5.6) (p < 0.0001) in Group A.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Combining thalidomide with HU significantly reduced VOCs and transfusion requirements, improved Hb and HbF%, and decreased HbS levels.</p>","PeriodicalId":46224,"journal":{"name":"Blood Research","volume":"60 1","pages":"21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11961824/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
