Acute Care Use Among People With Sickle Cell Disease, Sickle Cell Data Collection Program, 8 US States, 2018
Hospital admissions were frequent and occurred in less than half of the study population. More than half used the ED, with most hospital admissions initiated in the ED. Our findings call for further research to better understand differences in acute care use, high rates of ED T/R visits, and treatment of sickle cell disease in an outpatient setting.
