Robert J. Adams,Virgil McKie,Lewis L. Hsu,B Files,Elliott Vichinsky,Charles H. Pegelow,Miguel R. Abboud,Dianne Gallagher,Abdullah Kutlar,Fenwick T. Nichols,Duane Bonds,Donald Brambilla +11 more
TL;DR: Transfusion greatly reduces the risk of a first stroke in children with sickle cell anemia who have abnormal results on transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfusion and alloimmunization in sickle cell disease. The Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease
Wendell F. Rosse,Dianne Gallagher,Thomas R. Kinney,Oswaldo Castro,Harvey Dosik,John Moohr,Winfred C. Wang,Paul S. Levy +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with sickle cell disease who had been transfused were more frequently alloimmunized than men; this was largely due to the fact that women received more transfusions than men, but in the age group 16 to 20 years the increase may have been due in part to alloIMmunization owing to pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality in Children and Adolescents With Sickle Cell Disease
TL;DR: Comparison of this study's overall mortality with previous reports indicates improvement of survival in US patients less than 20 years of age with sickle hemoglobinopathies, and this improvement is most likely due to parental education and counseling about the illness and the early institution of antibiotics in suspected infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contemporary Outcomes after the Fontan Procedure: A Pediatric Heart Network Multicenter Study
Page A.W. Anderson,Lynn A. Sleeper,Lynn Mahony,Steven D. Colan,Andrew M. Atz,Roger E. Breitbart,Welton M. Gersony,Dianne Gallagher,Tal Geva,Renee Margossian,Brian W. McCrindle,Stephen M. Paridon,Marcy L. Schwartz,Mario Stylianou,Richard V. Williams,Bernard J. Clark +15 more
TL;DR: Moves of ventricular systolic function and functional health status, although lower on average in the cohort compared with control subjects, were in the majority of subjects within 2 standard deviations of the mean for control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal changes in brain magnetic resonance imaging findings in children with sickle cell disease
Charles H. Pegelow,Eric A. Macklin,Franklin G. Moser,Winfred C. Wang,Jacqueline A. Bello,Scott T. Miller,Elliott Vichinsky,Michael R. DeBaun,Ludovico Guarini,Robert A. Zimmerman,Donald P. Younkin,Dianne Gallagher,Thomas R. Kinney +12 more
TL;DR: Until safe and effective preventive strategies against infarct recurrence are discovered, MRI studies are best reserved for children with neurologic symptoms, neuropsychometric deficits, or elevated cerebral artery velocities.
