Modelling of iron load and deferasirox doses and costs based on List et al.^{[ 45 ]}

	Mean transfusion rate: 4.1 pRBC units per month over 12 months (Σ = 49 pRBCs per year)	Required amount of Deferasirox 20 mg kg−1 bw/d Mean net excretion = 0.329 mg Fe/kg bw/d		Required amount of Deferasirox 40 mg kg−1 bw/d Mean net excretion = 0.445 mg Fe/kg bw/d
Minimum iron content per pRBC unit (133.42 mg)	17.91 mg Fe/day	1088.8 mg/day	387.61 USD/day	1609.9 mg/day	573.12 USD/day
Average iron content per pRBC unit (194.79 mg)	26.15 mg Fe/day	1589.7 mg/day	565.93 USD/day	2350.6 mg/day	836.6 USD/day
Maximum iron content per pRBC unit (276.89 mg)	37.17 mg Fe/day	2259.6 mg/day	804.42 USD/day	3341.1 mg/day	1189.43 USD/day
