Fixed Low-Dose Hydroxyurea Therapy: A Strategy for Reducing Emergency Room Visits and Improving Treatment Adherence in Paediatric Sickle Cell Anaemia in Resource-Limited Settings

2024-07-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is a prevalent genetic disorder in sub-Saharan Africa, characterised by frequent vaso-occlusive crises and other complications. Hydroxycarbamide (hydroxyurea) has proven effective in managing SCA but is underutilised in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to cost and monitoring challenges. This study aims to ascertain the impact of a fixed low-dose hydroxyca...
