Cerebrovascular Accidents in Sickle Cell Disease: Rates and Risk Factors

TL;DR: The highest rates of prevalence of CVA and incidence were in sickle cell anemia (SS) patients, but CVA occurred in all common genotypes, and the incidence of infarctive CVA was lowest in SS patients 20 to 29 years of age and higher in children and older patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of Adverse Outcomes in Children with Sickle Cell Disease

TL;DR: Three easily identifiable manifestations of sicklecell disease that may appear in the first two years of life (dactylitis, severe anemia, and leukocytosis) can help to predict the possibility of severe sickle cell disease later in life.
Journal Article

Cognitive functioning and brain magnetic resonance imaging in children with sickle Cell disease. Neuropsychology Committee of the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease.

TL;DR: The results substantiate the importance of careful evaluation, educational planning, and medical intervention for CNS-related complications in children with sickle cell disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydroxycarbamide versus chronic transfusion for maintenance of transcranial doppler flow velocities in children with sickle cell anaemia - TCD with Transfusions Changing to Hydroxyurea (TWiTCH): A multicentre, open-label, phase 3, non-inferiority trial

TL;DR: High-risk children with sickle cell anaemia and abnormal TCD velocities who have received at least 1 year of transfusions, and have no MRA-defined severe vasculopathy, hydroxycarbamide treatment can substitute for chronic transfusions to maintain TCD velocity and help to prevent primary stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of recurrent stroke in patients with sickle cell disease treated with erythrocyte transfusions.

TL;DR: It is concluded that maintenance of hemoglobin S at a level less than 30% appears to be effective in reducing the rate of recurrent infarction but does not prevent transient neurologic events.
