Sickle Cell Disease in Pregnancy Outcomes by Lusajo Mwagobele is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study analyzes the trend and pregnancy outcomes of sickle cell disease (SCD) at Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania from 1999 to 2011, revealing an increase in SCD incidence and significant adverse fetal and maternal outcomes. SCD deliveries were associated with lower birth weights, higher rates of stillbirths, and excessive maternal mortality primarily due to infections. The findings highlight the need for improved management and care for pregnant women with SCD in Tanzania.
