Two-thirds of sexually active, pre-menopausal women were using contraception. Just under half of the participants who were sexually active had children and half had required some form of assisted reproductive technology to achieve a pregnancy. Less than half identified the importance of contraception as part of ensuring optimised pre-pregnancy care, and less than half had accessed pre-pregnancy care. Although there was good understanding of the increased risk of infertility and pregnancy complications, the specific risks and causes of these risks were poorly understood. Around half of the participants indicated they wanted more information on these medical issues.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions for practice<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Our study demonstrated significant concerns and knowledge gaps in Australian women with transfusion dependent \u03b2-thalassaemia with regards to disease-specific issues related to fertility and pregnancy, and a desire for related patient information.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10995-023-03683-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,5]],"date-time":"2023-06-05T07:02:16Z","timestamp":1685948536000},"page":"1961-1967","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Experiences, Knowledge Gaps and Information Needs of Women in Australia with Transfusion Dependent Thalassaemia in Regard to Fertility and Pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Hannah K","family":"Matthiesson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vasili","family":"Berdoukas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6280-8043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esther M","family":"Briganti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,5]]},"reference":[{"issue":"Suppl 1","key":"3683_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.3109\/03630260903365023","volume":"33","author":"R Bajoria","year":"2009","unstructured":"Bajoria, R., & Chatterjee, R.
