[Conditions of use and access to care of sickle cell anemia patients. Analysis of the literature].

In order to identify the care access and life conditions and non-compliance risk factors of sickle-cell patients, we performed a literature survey on these subjects, and on other chronic pathologies and care systems used as references. The data showed a positive influence of good quality of life, social support and family environment on diabetes mellitus patients compliance, and the negative effect of poor socioeconomic status on adequate prenatal care. Concerning sickle-cell disease, there were few data on the non-compliance risk factors.
