Key Points

This study aims to assess the impact of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on healthcare utilization and productivity in adolescents and adults with sickle cell disease.
Cross-sectional study design comparing HSCT recipients and HSCT-eligible candidates.
Participants reported healthcare utilization events in the prior six months via an online survey.
Generalized linear regression models analyzed differences between groups.
Recipients of HSCT reported significantly lower healthcare utilization events compared to candidates (p < 0.001).
Recipients showed significantly better Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) scores compared to candidates (p < 0.001).
NMA HSCT was found to positively affect the socioeconomic aspects of life for recipients.
