Physician perspectives about the diagnosis and management of acute chest syndrome
Based on our results, we conclude that ACS is diagnosed and managed inconsistently among expert physicians, especially in their transfusion practices due to a lack of consensus on risk stratification criteria. Our data suggest an urgent need for well-designed prospective studies to provide evidence-based guidelines and minimize management variability among physicians who care for individuals with SCD and ACS.
