    Abstract Introduction: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are important in the management of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, a potentially catastrophic complication of transfusion in this population is the delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR). The pathophysiology of all DHTRs is not understood, but some are known to be caused by an anamnestic resurgence of RBC alloantibodies.
    Case presentation: A child with SCD transfused for acute chest syndrome re-presented a week after hospital discharge with severe anaemia, hemolysis, and a newly detected anti-E. This patient had been previously transfused years ago at an outside institution and the anti-E had not been previously documented.
    Discussion: The presented case of an antibody positive DHTR illustrates several concepts critical to the prevention of this complication. RBC alloantibodies must be detected and this information must be shared. Prophylactic C/c, E/e, K antigen matching is helpful for patients with SCD, but systems must be in place to identify these patients. Patients transfused at multiple different hospitals are especially at risk for this complication and efforts are needed to prevent them from suffering a DHTR.

    Abstract Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using an HLA-identical sibling donor offers a very high likelihood of cure with good outcomes for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), and alternative donor HCT for SCD is an area of active clinical research. Thus, HCT is a potential option for a growing number of patients with SCD. This expanded use of HCT has raised several ethical questions. Who is eligible for HCT, in terms of both disease severity and psychosocial factors? Should affected children with matched sibling donors undergo HCT only when they have declared themselves as having significant symptomatology? Regarding donors, special ethical challenges include the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis to conceive an HLA-identical sibling. In this review, we critically analyze various ethical challenges related to HCT for SCD, and offer recommendations to guide clinical care.

  5. Article: Fertility after Curative Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease: A Comprehensive Review to Guide Care.

    Abstract Curative therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD) currently requires gonadotoxic conditioning that can impair future fertility. Fertility outcomes after curative therapy are likely affected by pre-transplant ovarian reserve or semen analysis parameters that may already be abnormal from SCD-related damage or hydroxyurea treatment. Outcomes are also likely affected by the conditioning regimen. Conditioning with myeloablative busulfan and cyclophosphamide causes serious gonadotoxicity particularly among post-pubertal females. Reduced-intensity and non-myeloablative conditioning may be acutely less gonadotoxic, but more short and long-term fertility outcome data after these approaches is needed. Fertility preservation including oocyte/embryo, ovarian tissue, sperm, and experimental testicular tissue cryopreservation should be offered to patients with SCD pursing curative therapy. Regardless of HSCT outcome, longitudinal post-HSCT fertility care is required.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate awareness of and attitudes toward preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for sickle cell disease (SCD) among parents of children with SCD.
    Study design: Parents of children with SCD were given an educational handbook on PGT before a routine SCD clinic visit. After their clinic visit, parents were asked to complete an anonymous survey.
    Results: Of 83 patents approached, 67 (81%) completed the survey. Only 16 of the 67 parents (24%) were previously aware of PGT for SCD. After our clinic-based education, 65 of the 67 parents (97%) indicated that it was important or very important for parents of children with SCD to know about PGT. Among parents interested in having more children, 29 of 32 (91%) would personally consider using PGT if covered by insurance.
    Conclusions: Parents of children with SCD are generally not aware of PGT. When educated in clinic, parents viewed information on PGT as valuable. Pediatricians and other health care professionals should inform parents of children with SCD about this reproductive option.

    Abstract Background: Irradiation of blood products prevents transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease, but most patients do not require this modification which could have an adverse impact on transfusion outcomes. We hypothesized that irradiation may increase transfusion requirements for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) receiving chronic transfusion.
    Study design and methods: Our pediatric hospital implemented a new policy of universal blood product irradiation in May 2018. We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients with SCD receiving chronic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion throughout the year before and after institution of this policy. The primary outcome was the change in RBC transfusion volume per patient weight transfused during the pre- vs. post- universal irradiation period. Secondary outcomes were the change in median pretransfusion laboratory values.
    Results: Among 17 patients, 8 (47%) received more RBCs the year before irradiation and 9 (53%) received more the year after irradiation. Implementation of universal irradiation did not significantly increase transfusion volumes needed to clinically manage this population (median change +1.7 ml/kg/year, p = .54). Additionally, there were no significant changes in absolute reticulocyte count, hemoglobin, hemoglobin S%, white blood cell count, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, serum potassium, and ferritin during the two time periods.
    Conclusion: In a cohort of patients with SCD receiving simple chronic transfusion, irradiation did not impact transfusion requirements or pertinent pretransfusion laboratory values. Irradiation does not appear to have clinically significant consequences for SCD chronic transfusion management.

    Abstract Blood component transfusions are important to the care of preterm neonates; however, their use in clinical practice often is not based on high levels of evidence. Five major questions for neonates are discussed: (1) What is the optimal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion threshold? (2) What is the optimal platelet transfusion threshold? (3) Does the storage age of an RBC unit affect outcomes? (4) Does RBC transfusion contribute to the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis? and (5) Which new practices should be used to prevent transfusion-transmitted infections? Although definitive answers to these questions do not exist, future research should help answer them.
