The OFC should be measured at every well child visit and at other opportunities and plotted on standard growth charts.

Home Based Primary Care for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
Conclusion: Overall, home based primary care seems to be a promising alternative for pts with SCD.

Thrombotic events following Covid-19 vaccines compared to Influenza vaccines
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study shows a significant increase in thrombotic events in subjects vaccinated with Covid-19 vaccines in comparison to a control group. The clinical implication of these findings should be interpreted with caution, in light of the high effectiveness of vaccination and the inherent risk of thrombosis from Covid-19 infection itself.PMID:35288031 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2022.03.002
