This study investigated the association of nutritional and haematological variables with maximum time-averaged mean velocity (TAMV) measured by transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocity and the agreement of classification between two protocols. TCD categories included: normal (<170cm/s), conditional (170-199cm/s) and abnormal (200cm/s) based on TAMV in distal internal carotid artery (dICA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), internal carotid bifurcation, anterior and posterior cerebral arteries. Of 358 children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) examined, the mean age (+/- standard deviation) was 74 +/- 27years; 131% and 67% had conditional and abnormal velocities, respectively. Children with abnormal TCD velocities had higher prevalence of prior stroke (P=0006). Increased TAMV was associated with younger age (P=0001), lower weight (P=0001), height (P=0007) and oxygen saturation (P=0005). There was no association of TAMV with height-age or body mass index (BMI) z-scores. Adjusting for gender, BMI z-score, age, previous stroke and oxygen saturation, mean corpuscular volume (P=0005) and reticulocyte count (P=0013) were positively associated with TAMV, while haemoglobin concentration (P=0009) was negatively associated. There was good agreement [99%; weighted Kappa 098 (95% confidence interval 089-1), P=00001] in TCD classification using data from five vessels versus two vessels (dICA and MCA). Haematological variables, rather than nutritional status, may be useful markers that identify high-risk children with SCA.
