Haemoglobin Variants and Red Blood Cell Parameters Among Pregnant Women in Ghana

Gabriel Abbam's research dataset from 2026 investigates the association between haemoglobin variant phenotypes and red blood cell parameters among pregnant women. The cross-sectional study includes data from 400 pregnant women at Ga West Municipal Hospital in Ghana's Greater Accra Region. The dataset is available as a 104.4 KB XLSX file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze the association between haemoglobin variants and red blood cell parameters based on the study's cross-sectional design.
• Assess the independent association of haemoglobin variants with anaemia among pregnant women based on the study's stated objective.
• Investigate potential complications in interpreting antenatal haematological profiles based on the description of haemoglobin variants altering RBC parameters.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a specific sample size of 400 pregnant women.
• Focuses on a defined population at Ga West Municipal Hospital in Ghana.
• Explicitly investigates a research gap regarding haemoglobin variants in Ghanaian pregnant women.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single hospital in Greater Accra.
