Stroke burden and functional impacts in adults with sickle cell disease

Stroke in sickle cell disease (SCD) has been well characterized in children, but data in adults remain insufficient, particularly regarding long-term functional consequences. The objective was to determine lifetime prevalence of symptomatic stroke, followed by characterization of stroke type, aetiology, treatments and functional status at last follow-up. We retrospectively reviewed adults (≥18 years) with any SCD phenotype followed at a tertiary centre from 2011 to 2023
