Sickle cell disease (SCD ORPHA232; OMIM 603903) is a rare hereditary red cell disorder, which global distribution ischanged in the last decade due to immigration-fluxes from endemic areas to Western-countries. One of the mainclinical manifestations of SCD are the acute painful vaso-occlusive crisis, which cause frequent accesses of SCDpatients to the emergency departments (EDs). This has generated the requirement of feasible tools for emergencygivers. In the context of the scientific-Italian-Society for the study of Thalassemias and Hemoglobinopathies (SITE),we developed an algorithm with interactive windows to guide physicians in managing SCD patients in EDs.

Abstract

Sickle cell disease (SCD ORPHA232; OMIM 603903) is a rare hereditary red cell disorder, which global distribution ischanged in the last decade due to immigration-fluxes from endemic areas to Western-countries. One of the mainclinical manifestations of SCD are the acute painful vaso-occlusive crisis, which cause frequent accesses of SCDpatients to the emergency departments (EDs). This has generated the requirement of feasible tools for emergencygivers. In the context of the scientific-Italian-Society for the study of Thalassemias and Hemoglobinopathies (SITE),we developed an algorithm with interactive windows to guide physicians in managing SCD patients in EDs.
