Abstract

High satisfaction with iron chelation is a major determinant for adherence to ICT in beta-thalassaemia major (?-TM) patients. In this study, a new tool to assess different domains of satisfaction for available forms of ICT was developed and validated. The impact of patients' satisfaction with ICT has been tested.
