Clin Radiol. 1983 Sep;34(5):491-5. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(83)80146-9.

Abstract

The presentation haemoglobin level was measured in 1103 patients with Hodgkin's disease. A reduced presentation haemoglobin level occurred with a higher relative frequency in patients with advanced disease, systemic (B) symptoms and aggressive histological subtypes. A reduced presentation haemoglobin was associated with a decreased survival.
