The clinical advantages of the newborn screening programme (NBS) in the UK are well described in the literature. However, there has been little exploration of the psychosocial impact on the family. This study followed the principles of grounded theor

Sickle cell anaemia (SCA; HbSS) is characterised by its clinical variability, which is only partly explained by known genetic factors. Environmental factors are known to contribute to acute problems but their importance in chronic complications has n

Hydroxyurea is increasingly used in the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD) although there is little evidence on how best to monitor treatment and compliance. It is also not known why 10-50% patients do not benefit from the drug and whether some o

Vitamin D deficiency is common in sickle cell anaemia (SCA, HbSS), although its significance and optimal means of correction are unknown. We conducted an audit to assess the clinical significance of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) deficiency in childre

A study published in 1981 examined the causes of hospital admission for a cohort of children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Since that time, the incidence and prevalence of SCD has increased markedly in the UK, and there have been many changes in th
