Sickle cell disease (SCD) leads to red blood cell deformities resulting in vaso-occlusion and multiorgan damage. Outcomes and adverse prognosticators among SCD patients with cardiovascular and thromboembolic (CVTE) complications are not well established. Therefore, we aimed to assess characteristics, outcomes, and mortality predictors for hospitalized SCD patients with CVTE complications. The National Inpatient Sample (2012-2021) was queried using ICD-9 and -10 codes for CVTE complications and relevant data in SCD patients. Mortality trends were examined with the Cochran-Armitage test, and factors associated with mortality were identified with multivariable logistic regression accounting for the weighted survey design. There were 1 388 310 SCD-related hospitalizations (mean age 31.3 ± 0.1 years; 56.4% female), of which 441 820 (31.8%) involved CVTE complications, including deep vein thrombosis (33.6%), pulmonary embolism (27%), acute chest syndrome (26%), congestive heart failure (21.3%), and pulmonary hypertension (18.2%). In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with CVTE complications (1.5% vs 0.3%, P < .0001). Charlson comorbidity index, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, stroke, pulmonary embolism, and COVID-19 infection were identified as predictors of inpatient mortality. In conclusion, CVTE complications are associated with increased inpatient mortality. Early recognition of mortality predictors may support more effective risk stratification and timely interventions.
镰状细胞病(SCD)导致红细胞畸形,导致血管闭塞和多器官损伤。伴有心血管和血栓栓塞(CVTE)并发症的SCD患者的预后和不良预后尚未得到很好的确定。因此,我们旨在评估伴有CVTE并发症的住院SCD患者的特征、结局和死亡率预测因素。使用ICD-9和-10代码查询全国住院患者样本(2012-2021)的CVTE并发症和SCD患者的相关数据。死亡率趋势采用Cochran-Armitage检验,与死亡率相关的因素采用加权调查设计的多变量logistic回归分析确定。scd相关住院1 388 310例(平均年龄31.3±0.1岁,女性56.4%),其中441 820例(31.8%)涉及CVTE并发症,包括深静脉血栓形成(33.6%)、肺栓塞(27%)、急性胸综合征(26%)、充血性心力衰竭(21.3%)、肺动脉高压(18.2%)。CVTE并发症患者的住院死亡率更高(1.5% vs 0.3%, P
