Perioperative Outcomes and Sickle Cell Crisis in Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Retrospective Observational Study.
May 20, 2026 · Paediatric anaesthesia
Key takeaway
For Black children with sickle cell, surgeries often mean longer hospital stays and more blood transfusions. This is important for our community because avoiding urgent surgeries and better care before and after surgery could prevent painful sickle cell crises.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in hematology helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
