Implication

Analysis assesses mortality predictors in hospitalized sickle cell patients with cardiovascular complications, suggesting improvements in care.

Key Points

This research aims to identify factors associated with outcomes and mortality in hospitalized SCD patients with cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications.
Analyzed national inpatient data from 2012-2021 using ICD-9 and -10 codes for CVTE complications in SCD patients.
Conducted mortality trend assessments with the Cochran-Armitage test.
Identified mortality predictors using multivariable logistic regression accounting for survey design.
Among 1,388,310 SCD-related hospitalizations, 441,820 involved CVTE complications.
In-hospital mortality was significantly higher for patients with CVTE complications (1.5% vs 0.3%).
Identified mortality predictors included Charlson comorbidity index, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, and COVID-19.
