Examining Cognitive Function and Brain Abnormalities in Adults with Sickle Cell Disease
Examining Cognitive Function and Brain Abnormalities in Adults with Sickle Cell Disease
Issue: Adults with SCD may have brain abnormalities that contribute to problems with cognitive functioning, including attention and memory difficulties. Can these problems be prevented by chronic blood transfusions?
Participants: Adults with SCD, 21 to 55 years of age
Comparison: blood transfusions (the experimental treatment)
versus
no intervention (the control)
