A total of 176 patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency were included, with 50% experiencing acute hemolysis.
Clinical features included hemolysis triggered by oxidative agents like fava beans and infections, with many cases lacking complete clinical information.
Retrospective, observational analysis captured epidemiological, clinical, and molecular data from multiple research centers.
Findings highlight the need for targeted screening strategies to identify both affected individuals and carriers of G6PD deficiency.
