Article Synopsis
- Social determinants of health (SDOH) significantly affect health outcomes, including mortality rates for sickle cell disease (SCD), even with improvements in treatments.
- This study analyzed SCD mortality data from 2016 to 2020, using county-level SDOH data to assess the relationship between social vulnerability and death rates across different population quartiles.
- Findings revealed that higher SVI scores correlate with significantly increased mortality, with a rate ratio of 4.90 for individuals in high vulnerability areas compared to low vulnerability, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on health outcomes for SCD patients.

When patients present with further systemic and local confounding pathologies, it can result in painful, chronic wounds that are especially challenging to treat.

A theoretically derived 17-item survey measuring the concepts was administered to a convenience sample of 127 APNs.
