Correlation between admission values of mean red blood cell deformability (RCD) at a shear stress (SS) of 30 Pa and the lowest haemoglobin (Hb) concentration reached during hospitalization in Thai patients with severe falciparum malaria (correlation coefficient 0.49, P = 0.002). When patients with a microcytic anaemia (MCV,80fL: red circles) were excluded, the correlation coefficient was 0.64, P < 0.001) [49]
