A recent study conducted at the University of Cagliari in Italy focused on pregnancy and childbirth in women with beta transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). The research highlighted improvements in disease management and their impact on pregnancy outcomes. The study analyzed data from 341 pregnancies in 247 women with TDT, showing an increase in the age at first pregnancy over time and various methods of conception. The study also found that the rate of complications during pregnancy was not significantly higher compared to the non-thalassemic population, and neonatal characteristics have evolved over time alongside advancements in disease management.
