To estimate the prevalence of various hemoglobinopathies among newborns, women in antenatal clinic and children presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of sickle cell disease (SCD).
A hospital-based prospective study was conducted at a Centre of Excellence for SCD (COESCD). Dried blood spot (DBS) samples were collected for newborn screening using heel-prick and venous samples were used in the post-neonatal age group. Hemoglobin variant analysis was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Out of 26,642 neonates screened, 1.87% (n = 498) were found to have abnormal hemoglobin patterns. The prevalence of hemoglobin variants detected among women screened during antenatal check-up and children with signs and symptoms of SCD were found to be 6.11% and 22.69%, respectively.
Intensive screening programs have led to detection of a large number of cases with hemoglobinopathies including rare hemoglobin variants.
评估新生儿、产前门诊妇女以及出现镰状细胞病（SCD）体征和症状的儿童中各种血红蛋白病的患病率。
在一个镰状细胞病卓越中心（COESCD）开展了一项基于医院的前瞻性研究。采用足跟采血收集干血斑（DBS）样本用于新生儿筛查，在新生儿期后年龄组使用静脉血样本。使用高效液相色谱法（HPLC）进行血红蛋白变异体分析。
在筛查的26642例新生儿中，发现1.87%（n = 498）有异常血红蛋白模式。在产前检查期间筛查的妇女以及有SCD体征和症状的儿童中检测到的血红蛋白变异体患病率分别为6.11%和22.69%。
强化筛查项目已导致检测出大量血红蛋白病病例，包括罕见的血红蛋白变异体。
