背景资料：镰状细胞病（SCD）是一种在沙特阿拉伯的贾赞省高度流行的遗传性疾病，并且主要以许多并发症为特征，例如血管闭塞危象（VOC）、急性胸部综合征（ACS）和有充分记录的神经系统并发症。这些并发症可能会影响患者的学习成绩。方法：在贾赞省进行了一项观察性、横断面、回顾性研究。收集一般和人口统计学资料，并回答有关SCD学生学习成绩的问题。采用t检验和卡方检验以及沿着多元logistic回归进行分析。结果：982名参与者被选入本研究，平均年龄为23岁（SD：7）。大多数参与者是女性（64%）。患有SCD的参与者人数为339人（36%），其中42%为男性。与健康的参与者相比，SCD学生的平均成绩（GPA）较低，缺勤率更高。此外，在COVID-19大流行期间，大部分教育活动都在网上进行，约60%患有SCD的学生认为他们的表现优于40%没有SCD的参与者。结论：正如之前报道的那样，这项研究表明，与健康人相比，患有SCD的学生的学习成绩受到负面影响，这主要是由于与该疾病相关的并发症。此外，患有SCD的学生承认在线教育的表现更好，这是一种应该考虑提高学习成绩的选择。卫生和教育官员要求对更多人口进行全国性研究，支持性的在线教育项目也有必要提高这一人群的学习成绩。
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disease that is highly prevalent in Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia, and is mostly characterized by many complications such as vaso-occlusive crises (VOC), acute chest syndrome (ACS) and well-documented neurological complications. These complications may affect patients’ academic performance. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted in Jazan Province. General and demographic data were collected and questions about academic performance of students with SCD were answered. Both t-tests and chi-square tests, along with multiple logistic regression, were used for analysis. Results: 982 participants were selected for this study with a mean age of 23 years (SD: 7). Most of the participants were female (64%). The number of participants with SCD was 339 (36%), of whom 42% were male. Students with SCD recorded lower grade point averages (GPA) and more absences compared to healthy participants. Further, about 60% of students with SCD thought they performed better than 40% of the participants without SCD during the COVID-19 pandemic when most of the educational activities were online. Conclusion: As has been previously reported, this study suggested that the academic performance of students with SCD is negatively affected compared to healthy individuals, and this is mostly due to complications associated with the disease. Further, students with SCD acknowledged better performance with online education, an option that should be considered to improve their academic performance. National studies on a larger population are required by health and education officials, and supportive online educational programs are warranted to enhance the academic performance of this population.
