Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals high rates of iron deficiency among youth with sickle cell disease receiving chronic transfusions, indicating critical clinical implications.

Key Points

Nearly half of youth on chronic transfusions had iron deficiency or possible iron deficiency, indicating the need for close monitoring.
Of 60 eligible youth, 45% exhibited iron deficiency or possible iron deficiency within 2 years of starting chronic transfusions.
This retrospective chart review identified clinical characteristics correlated with iron deficiency in youth with sickle cell disease.
Findings suggest additional causes of iron deficiency may exist in youth with sickle cell disease receiving chronic transfusions.
