Abstract
Sickle cell disease causes pain that can manifest in chronic or acute crises. In addition to other possible complications, this pain can frequently place sickle cell patients in the emergency room and hospital. The high volume of patient visits requires an analysis of the quality of care for this group and a conscious effort to improve the care from providers. This study aims to evaluate the attitudes of United States hematologists toward current SCD management guidelines established by the American Society of Hematology (ASH). No statistically convincing evidence was found to support the hypothesis that not all United States hematologists agree with each ASH sickle cell treatment guideline. However, there is a deeper level of contextual understanding and discussion necessary to confidently make this conclusion.
