ImpactModerate impact

While the responses highlight the significance of the findings, the overall influence appears preliminary, prompting further interest rather than immediate change.

Abstract in brief

  • This study reports on nine sickle cell disease (SCD) patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in New York City during early 2020, all of whom recovered and were discharged home, suggesting a potentially lower risk of severe COVID-19 complications in SCD patients than previously thought.
  • Despite SCD patients typically having underlying health issues such as cardiopulmonary problems that could increase COVID-19 severity, this case series found that they experienced mild to moderate symptoms, with no severe morbidity or mortality.
  • The findings highlight the importance of early testing for COVID-19 in symptomatic SCD patients and suggest that SCD patients may have some level of protection against severe outcomes, though more research is needed.
