Abstract

To assess the event rate of myringotomy and tube placement (M&T) in the pediatric patient population with sickle cell disease (SCD). Four hundred and forty-nine children with confirmed SCD have been followed over a period of 11.5 years at two hospital-based pediatric hematology and otolaryngology offices, and three tertiary care hospitals. Children with SCD who had undergone M&T were identified via computer search of International Classification of Diseases codes by the medical records departments of the three hospitals, and from two databases of the hematology offices. The inpatient and outpatient medical records of all children identified were reviewed. For the 449 patients, mean duration of SCD follow-up was 6.13 +/- 3.36 years. Of these, eight patients (four boys, four girls, mean age 9 +/- 3.5 years; four patients had hemoglobin SC disease, and four patients had sickle cell anemia type SS) underwent M&T. Two children met criteria for severe SCD. The event rate for M&T insertion was 0.29/100 person-years, 95% CI (0.15, 0.58). The event rate for M&T in children with SCD, compared to a historical control group, is lower than that of the general population. Type and severity of SCD were not predictive of the need for tube inse...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
