  • Assess the quality of care for sickle cell disease in community hospitals in southwestern Ontario.
  • Retrospective chart review of adult patients with sickle cell disease at four community EDs
  • Analysis of emergency and inpatient metrics from 2017 to 2024
  • Use of descriptive statistics and multivariable regression models to analyze outcomes.
  • 160 emergency department visits related to sickle cell disease were recorded
  • Majority of visits (72.1%) resulted from vaso-occlusive episodes
  • Only 2.5% of patients received timely analgesia within the recommended timeframe.
