Transcranial Doppler Screening in a Current Cohort of Children With Sickle Cell Anemia: Results From the DISPLACE Study
This report describes results from Part 1 of the 28-site DISPLACE (Dissemination and Implementation of Stroke Prevention Looking at the Care Environment) study, a baseline assessment of TCD implementation rates. This report describes TCD implementation by consortium site characteristics; characteristics of TCDs completed; and TCD results based on age. The cohort included 5247 children with SCA, of whom 5116 were eligible for TCD implementation assessment for at least 1 study year. The majority of children were African American or Black, non-Hispanic and received Medicaid. Mean age at first recorded TCD was 5.9 and 10.5 yea...

Characterizing a Population with Severe Manifestations of Sickle Cell Disease Using U.S. Real-World Evidence
ConclusionsBased on this contemporary real-world evidence from the U.S. setting, a substantial proportion of patients with SCD experience a diverse set of severely debilitating complications of the disease, as well as other co-morbidities associated with the disease. The high rate of comorbidities across all age groups and overrepresentation of patients younger than 30 years of age (relative to age distribution of general U.S. population) indicate that patients with SCD still experience significant morbidity and early mortality with current standard medical care. Given the notable heterogeneity of the clinical manifestatio...

Medicare Bundled Payment Policy on Anemia Care, Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events, and Mortality among Adults Undergoing Hemodialysis
CONCLUSIONS: The Medicare reimbursement policy and Food and Drug Administration-recommended erythropoietin-stimulating agent dosing changes were associated with lower erythropoietin-stimulating agent use and lower hemoglobin levels. These changes in anemia care were associated with lower risks of major adverse cardiovascular event, stroke, mortality, and heart failure but higher risk of acute myocardial infarction among adults receiving hemodialysis.PMID:35589388 | DOI:10.2215/CJN.14361121

Vital Signs: Use of Recommended Health Care Measures to Prevent Selected Complications of Sickle Cell Anemia in Children and Adolescents - Selected U.S. States, 2019
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE: Despite increases since 2014, TCD screening and hydroxyurea use remain low among children and adolescents with SCA. Health care providers should implement quality care strategies within their clinics and partner with patients, families, and community-based organizations to address barriers to delivering and receiving recommended care.PMID:36173745 | DOI:10.15585/mmwr.mm7139e1

Surveillance for Sickle Cell Disease - Sickle Cell Data Collection Program, Two States, 2004-2018
This report is the first comprehensive description of CDC's efforts in collaboration with participating states to establish, maintain, and expand SCD surveillance through the SCDC program to improve health outcomes for persons living with SCD. Findings from California and Georgia analyses highlighted a need for additional SCD specialty clinics. Despite different approaches, expansion of SCDC to multiple states was possible using standardized, rigorous methods developed across all participating states for reporting on disease prevalence, health care needs and use, and deaths.PUBLIC HEALTH ACTION: Findings from surveillance ...
