SPIROMETRY ASSESSMENTS IN CHILDREN WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE IN GHANA AND FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO ABNORMAL LUNG FUNCTION- A CASE CONTROL STUDY.

2025-05-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder in which red blood cells undergo episodes of sickling following hypoxemia. Episodes of ischaemic crisis in children are predicted to accelerate the decline in pulmonary function. There are few published reports on lung function assessments in children with sickle-cell disease in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to investigate the association...
