Abstract
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. Since September 2016, at the University Hospital Center of Libreville (UHCL) hematology consultation dedicated to adult patients with sickle cell disease was offered. This was the occasion to conduct this study, the purpose of which was to describe the socio-demographic and economic profile of patients followed up on a regular basis. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive and non-comparative study in the Department of Internal Medicine at the UHCL, from September 2016 to June 2019. Patients aged 18 years and older with homozygous sickle cell disease who had been followed up during the study period, were able to answer questions and had undergone at least three haematology consultations were included in the study. A total of 88 patients out of 233 met the inclusion criteria during the study period; women predominated. The sex ratio was 0.5 and the average age of patients was 30.4 ± 7.8 years, 42% had a higher education level, 88.6% had health insurance that allowed 31.8% of them to take care of themselves, in addition to their monthly income. Sickle cell disease was an obstacle in patients daily and professional lives but they got support from family and friends. This study shows that patients with sickle cell disease who attend follow-up visits are integrated into society. Most of them have an education level that allow them to understand their illness and a health insurance which can help them manage their illness. Copyright: Marielle Igala et al.Entities:
