Multidisciplinary care in patients with sickle cell disease improves maternal and fetal outcomes during pregnancy, reducing complications.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common hemoglobinopathy, characterized by hemolysis and vaso-occlusion, resulting in multisystem disease. Pregnant patients with SCD may have preexisting organ dysfunction and SCD-specific pregnancy complications. Risk for adverse maternal or fetal outcomes is significantly elevated in SCD patients, and multidisciplinary care in a center with expertise is essential to minimize complications.
