Simple intervention and parents education in reducing the morbidity in sickle cell anemia

B A Attalla.


Abstract
The impact of simple intervention and parents education was evaluated on sickle cell anaemia. A group of 70 patients, attending sickle cell clinic at Khartoum children emergency hospital during the period June 1996 through May 200 K were enrolled. Their ages ranged between 5-18 years. The interventions were early treatment of infections, folic acid daily, parents education about the disease and its complications, meningitis vaccination during the epidemics and close monitoring in the sickle cell clinic. Age, sex, residential area, frequency of hospitalization and blood transfusion requirement five years before the study and during the five years of follow up were recorded. haematological parameters, were studied for each patient pre and post intervention. The study showed that the number of patients is inversely related to age. Males in. this study exceeded females (P<O.O1). 70% of the patients were living in unplanned area. Frequency of hospitalization and blood transfusion were significantly reduced after the intervention (P<O.Ol). Significant differences were encountered in the values of the haematological parameters. These results show that simple intervention and parents education playa significant role in decreasing the morbidity associated with homozygous sickle cell disease.
