Abstract
Estimating prognosis in sickle cell anemia (SCA) assumes greater importance as intensive treatments, such as hematopoietic SCT (HSCT), are being tested. Here we estimate the mortality risk from the walk-PHaSST (Sildenafil Therapy for Pulmonary Hypertension and Sickle Cell Disease) trial of homozygous SCA patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension (19/468 deaths; 10 centers in the US and UK). Parallel investigations were also undertaken in the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSCCD) and a contemporary urban sickle cell disease population (Case Western Reserve University-University Hospitals (CWRU-UH), Cleveland, OH, USA). One- and two-value positive predictive values for 2-year mortality (from study entry) are calculated using factors that include demographics, laboratory values and clinical evaluations. We define high-, intermediate-, and low-risk SCA as > 15%, 10-15% and < 10% 2-year mortality. In walk-PHaSST, no single factor qualifies as high-risk SCA, although several combinations of two factors (that is, both age > 35 years and history of chronic transfusion) do. Either elevated white blood cell count (> 13.5 × 10(3) cells/mcL, 7/70 deaths) or elevated Tricuspid Regurgitant Jet Velocity (⩾ 3.0 m/s, 8/67 deaths...Continue Reading
