Article Synopsis
- In 2015, Catalonia began screening newborns for sickle cell disease (SCD) as part of its newborn screening program, introducing key treatments like penicillin and hydroxyurea.
- A study of nearly 507,000 newborns from 2015 to 2022 found a significant decrease in age at diagnosis and earlier initiation of treatment for those screened.
- The screened group experienced fewer SCD-related clinical issues, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations, indicating that the screening program has improved overall health outcomes for affected children.
