Association between plasma free haem and incidence of vaso-occlusive episodes and acute chest syndrome in children with sickle cell disease

We tested the hypothesis that extracellular haem is linked to the incidence of acute complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). Using multivariable regression analysis, higher plasma free haem, but not total plasma haem, was associated with increased odds of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) [P = 0.028,...
