Article Synopsis
- Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects about 100,000 Americans and is linked to serious health issues like organ damage and cognitive impairment, prompting the American Society of Hematology to suggest cognitive screenings for affected patients.
- The Sickle Cell Assessment of Neurocognitive Skills (SCANS) program at our institution has conducted over 700 neuropsychological evaluations since 2012, revealing common diagnoses such as cognitive disorder and ADHD, and successfully aiding nearly 87% of patients in transitioning to adult care.
- The program emphasizes the importance of tailored assessments, collaboration across disciplines, and strategies for addressing the specific needs of SCD patients to improve health outcomes.
