Overview

Analysis reveals variability in ED visits among adults with sickle cell disease, suggesting targeted interventions for high-use groups.

Key Points

  • Adults with sickle cell disease show significant variability in emergency department utilization patterns, indicating distinct groups.
  • Among 656 adults with SCD, a high-use group represented 19% but accounted for 68% of ED visits, highlighting their frequent need for care.
  • Survival modeling demonstrated that individuals experiencing bursts of ED visits had over three times the risk of additional visits shortly after.
  • Understanding the factors behind these utilization patterns may lead to better-targeted healthcare interventions for adults with SCD.
