Cover Story: The present study evaluated temporal changes in quality of life (QoL) and psychological burden among thalassemia patients in 2025, compared with 2018. Two cross-sectional samples of patients (n=236) were recruited during 2025 (n₁=117) and 2018 (n₂=119) at the Thalassemia Units on Crete/Greece. The EQ-5D-3L Quality of Life Scale, the EQ VAS Index, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used through multiple logistic regression analysis to assess relative parameters. Health status and QoL remained consistent from 2018 to 2025, while depression levels increased. Anxiety significantly exceeded depression, and better QoL was associated with improved health status and reduced anxiety and depression. View this paper
