Abstract

Sickle cell disease (SCD) state level surveillance data are limited. We performed a retrospective review of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations from individuals with SCD in Illinois (2016–2020) using the Illinois Health and Hospital Association’s Comparative Health Care and Hospital Data Reporting Services. There were 48,094 outpatient ED visits and 31,686 hospitalizations. Most visits (67%) occurred in Cook County, were covered by public insurance (77%) and were from individuals with medium high (40.3%) or high (36.1%) poverty levels. SCD healthcare utilization remains high and surveillance data may inform SCD program development and resource allocation at the state level.

摘要

镰状细胞病 (SCD) 州级监测数据有限。我们使用伊利诺伊州卫生和医院协会的比较医疗保健和医院数据报告服务，对伊利诺伊州 SCD 患者的急诊科 (ED) 就诊和住院情况（2016-2020 年）进行了回顾性审查。有 48,094 次门诊急诊就诊和 31,686 次住院治疗。大多数访问 (67%) 发生在库克县，由公共保险 (77%) 承保，并且来自中高 (40.3%) 或高 (36.1%) 贫困水平的个人。SCD 医疗保健利用率仍然很高，监测数据可能会为州一级的 SCD 计划开发和资源分配提供信息。
