a
Statistically significant at P<0.05 compared with two other groups.
b
Statistically significant at P<0.001 compared with Sβ° and Sβ+ groups.
c
Statistically significant at P<0.001 compared with SS and Sβ° groups.
Hb: hemoglobin/ SS: sickle cell anemia/ Sβ°: sickle/β°-thalassemia/ Sβ+: sickle/β+-thalassemia
