A pilot study was conducted in Tanzania to evaluate the effectiveness of a linkage to care intervention with social workers for children with sickle cell disease, resulting in a significant decrease in 12-month post-hospital mortality compared to a historical cohort.
We conducted a pilot study to determine the effectiveness of a linkage to care intervention with social workers to improve 12-month post-hospital mortality for children in Tanzania with sickle cell disease. Comparison was done with a historical cohort. Mortality was 6.7% in the interventional cohort compared with 19.2% (adjusted Hazard Ratio, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.08-0.83).
