Growth and nutritional status of children with homozygous sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND Poor growth and under-nutrition are common in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). This review summarises evidence of nutritional status in children with SCD in relation to anthropometric status, disease severity, body composition, energy metabolism, micronutrient deficiency and endocrine dysfunction. METHODS A literature search was conducted on the Medline/PUBMED, SCOPUS, SciE...

متن کاملDelayed adolescent growth in homozygous sickle cell disease.
Analysis of the growth abnormalities in sickle cell disease has been limited by the lack of longitudinal observations in individuals, and by an inability to quantitate the observed patterns. To investigate the timing and pattern of the adolescent growth spurt, longitudinal observations of height from the Jamaican cohort study were fitted to a mathematical model of growth (Preece-Baines model 1)...
متن کاملWeight status of children with sickle cell disease.
OBJECTIVE Historically, many children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) were underweight. Treatment advances like hydroxyurea have been associated with improved growth. We hypothesized that increased hemoglobin (Hb) levels would be associated with increased weight status of children with SCD. METHODS Investigators at 6 institutions conducted a retrospective chart review of all pa...
