Background Nocturnal oxyhaemoglobin desaturation might have a role in CNS complications related to sickle cell disease, and rates of painful crises. We attempted to examine the biological relations, and describe the haematological risk factors for oxyhaemoglobin desaturation.Methods The study population included children with sickle cell disease and controls. Cellular activation was assessed by measurement of soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, P-selectin, L-selectin, and leukotriene B-4. Erythrocyte-endothelial adhesion and routine haematological variables were assessed. Oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) was measured by pulse oximetry while children were awake and asleep. Children with a mean sleeping SaO(2) of less than or equal to93% were identified as hypoxaemic. Children were divided into four groups: controls (ten children), HbSC (nine, all normoxic), HbSS normoxic (13), and HbSS hypoxaemic (15).Findings Among haematological variables, sleeping SaO(2) correlated only with packed-cell volume (r=0.7; p
