- *National estimate of SCD-related ER visits. Data from the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) of 50,418 ER visits for patients with SCD in 2006.
- †Data from 182 patients with sickle cell anemia followed prospectively over 5 years at the sickle cell center of the Cardeza Foundation for Hematologic Research of Jefferson Medical College and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, from January 1998 to December 2002.
It's important to speak to your health care providers regularly about your condition. Between visits, keep track of each pain crisis you have, even the ones you manage at home.
