Accuracy of the model derived from red blood cell indices in predicting α0-thalassemia trait among non-anemic pregnant women
The combined-parameter prediction model provided excellent diagnostic performance with low false positive rate. The application of the prediction model could decrease unnecessary PCR method for α<sup>0</sup>-thalassemia testing, thereby decreasing the cost of investigation. Our proposed model can possibly have a great impact or significant change in clinical practice, especially in Southeast Asia.
