Mortality in sickle cell anemia in Africa: a prospective cohort study in Tanzania.

Mortality in sickle cell anemia in Africa: a prospective cohort study in Tanzania.

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization has declared Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) a public health priority. There are 300,000 births/year, over 75% in Africa, with estimates suggesting that 6 million Africans will be living with SCA if average survival reaches half the African norm. Countries such as...
