Factors associated with D42 Hb concentration and Hb recovery
anaemia, sickle cell disease, parasitaemia
ANAEMIA, SICKLE CELL DISEASE
A more robust MAFt response was seen in older G6PDd children with a longer illness duration and higher D0 Hb and D0 parasitaemia but was lower with a greater fractional fall in Hb and sickle cell disease (The time to Hb recovery ranged from 6 h − 42 days for a median of 14 (IQR 2–21) days and 7 (2 − 21) days in the G6PDd group. However, there was an interaction between baseline Hb and G6PD status on the time to haemoglobin recovery, suggesting a differential time to recovery in the G6PD-deficient group that depended on Hb concentration (Additional file Times to haemoglobin recovery by G6PD status as a function of any degree of baseline anaemia (Being on SLDPQ was not an independent explanatory factor for the time to and probability of Hb recovery by D42 and the D42 Hb concentration.
