Adherence to ready-to-use therapeutic food in older children with sickle cell anaemia and severe acute malnutrition
INTRODUCTION: Children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) in Sub-Saharan Africa face a higher risk of malnutrition, increasing morbidity and mortality rates. We conducted a randomised controlled feasibility trial to treat children aged 5-12 years with SCA and severe acute malnutrition (body mass index Z-score <-3.0) in Kano, Nigeria (n=108). Despite high rates of ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) consumption, as measured by returned RUTF sachets, …
Major gene effect and additive familial pattern of inheritance of asthma exist among families of probands with sickle cell anemia and asthma
In the United States, sickle cell anemia (SCA) affects approximately 1 in 400 African‐American newborns. Acute episodes of pain and acute chest syndrome (ACS) are the two leading causes of hospitalization. A relationship between the diagnosis of asthma and the incidence of pain and ACS has been established. We tested the hypothesis that a familial pattern of inheritance of asthma exists among first degree relatives of probands with SCA and asthma…
Selected antepartum medical complications and very-low-birthweight infants among black and white women
This study estimated the risk of very-low-birthweight delivery among Black and White women with selected treatable antepartum medical conditions. A logistic regression model was applied to a retrospective, population-based data set identified by computerized, linked birth certificate and maternal hospital discharge records. For Black mothers, the adjusted odds ratio for very-low-birthweight delivery was statistically significant for essential hyp…
