Pediatric thalassemic patients have higher incidence of asthma: A nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Patients with hemoglobinopathies have been reported to have higher rates of pulmonary complications. Few studies have investigated the association between thalassemia and asthma in children.<h4>Methods</h4>We used the data of one million individuals rando...
