Perioperative Outcomes and Sickle Cell Crisis in Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Retrospective Observational Study
The perioperative course in children with SCD was associated with longer postoperative length of stay and higher blood transfusion rates relative to those without SCD undergoing similar surgical procedures. Perioperative sickle cell crisis was present in more than one out of six admissions, more common in non-elective admissions, and is associated with excess length of stay.
