Girard et al. report a retrospective, single‐centre, real‐world study evaluating hydroxyurea (hydroxycarbamide) use in adults with haemoglobin SC disease in Quebec. Hydroxyurea was associated with reduced vaso‐occlusive crisis composite events, mostly mild adverse events and no observed hyperviscosity‐related complications, while highlighting adherence

Background and Purpose Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder caused by mutation of β‐globin. In SCD, haemoglobin polymerization causes red blood cells to assume a rigid sickle‐shape leading to neurovascular alterations, including development of vascular dementia – characterized by cognitive impairment and reduced cerebral perfusion ...
