Overview

Retrospective analysis showed high healthcare utilization in sickle cell disease patients with psychiatric disorders, indicating significant disease burden.

Key Points

  • Patients with HbS beta thalassemia plus exhibit high healthcare utilization and significant disease burden.
  • Chronic kidney disease and acute chest syndrome are common comorbidities impacting patient outcomes.
  • Retrospective analysis across a cohort of 193 adults identified predictors of hospitalizations and opioid use.
  • A lactate dehydrogenase/platelet ratio greater than 2 correlated with higher odds of acute complications.
