Abstract:Objective To investigate the non-standard treatments of children with β-thalasemiamajor(β-TM)and its causes,so as to reduce the proportion of non-standard treatments and improve the survival status of children.Methods A total of 57 cases of β-TM children treated in Zhuhai Municipal Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital from January to December in 2018 were selected as the subjects,and the blood transfusion,iron removal,iron overload and the causes of non-standard treatment were investigated.Results Among the 57 children with β-TM,there were 13 children(22.8%)with irregular blood transfusion and 17 children(34.0%)with non-normative iron removal.Among the 57 children with β-TM,the reasons for irregular blood transfusion were 10 cases(17.5%)of family financial difficulties,and 3 cases(5.3%)of parents′neglect.Among the 50 children who needed to use iron removing drugs,the causes of nonnormative iron removal were 11 cases(22.0%)of family financial difficulties,3 cases(6.0%)of side effects of drugs,and 3 cases(6.0%)of parents′neglect.There was no significant difference in serum ferritin(SF)between regular and irregular blood transfusion groups(P>0.05).The SF level in non-normative iron-removing group was higher than that in normative iron-removing group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The proportion of non-standard treatments of children withβ-TM is high,most of which are related to economic difficulties.Increasing the income of medical insurance forminors will help to reduce the proportion of non-standard treatments and improve the prognosis of children with β-TM.
