A small randomised trial and observation of all patients homozygous for beta-thalassaemia in Britain born in or before 1963 indicated that those patients who had received average weekly doses of more than 4 g of desferrioxamine over the previous few years were less likely to die in the near future than were patients of similar ages who had received less, or no, desferrioxamine.
一项针对1963年及以前在英国出生的所有β地中海贫血纯合子患者的小型随机试验和观察表明,在过去几年中每周平均接受超过4克去铁胺治疗的患者,与年龄相仿但接受较少或未接受去铁胺治疗的患者相比,近期死亡的可能性较小。
