Result: Patients with sickle cell disease required significantly more admissions during their pregnancy, 135 (78.4%) compared to the control, 74 (37.4%). One hundred thirteen (65.6%) SCD patients were admitted with vaso-occlusive crises and 18 (10.4%) with hemolytic crises. SCD patients had a significant decrease in parity, gestational age and birth weight compared with the control group. SCD patients had a significant rise in the incidence of urinary tract infection, but there was no difference between both groups in the incidence of hypertensive disorders, mode of delivery and perinatal outcome.
