Abstract

Predicting the severity of acute chest syndrome is an important research priority in sickle cell disease. In this retrospective study of patients with acute chest syndrome, an enlarged pulmonary artery on computed tomography was associated with severe respiratory failure defined by the need for either noninvasive or mechanical ventilation.
