A chi-square analysis revealed a highly significant association between HbS positivity and thalassemia type ( P ≈ 3.1 × 10 −12 ), which aligns with the diagnostic role of HbS detection in sickle cell thalassemia.

No significant associations were observed with sex (slope = 20.80, 95% CI: −1177 to 1218, P = 0.972) or income ( P = 0.091), although there was a slight trend toward lower ferritin levels in patients with higher income (Table 2 ).
