Retrospective cohort study reveals no significant link between eosinophil count and hospitalization outcomes in sickle cell disease patients.

To assess if absolute eosinophil count can predict the severity of sickle cell disease in clinical settings.
Multicenter retrospective cohort study using Premier Healthcare Database
Included patients with ICD-10 diagnosis code D57.00 and at least one AEC on admission
Analyzed length of stay as the primary outcome using statistical methods in R.
Mean age of patients was 31 years; majority were black and non-Hispanic.
Absolute eosinophil count on admission was 0.19 cells x 10^9/L.
Median length of stay was 4 days; no significant association between AEC and LOS was found.

Fadel et al. (2025) studied this question.
