Severe anemia, defined as hemoglobin level <6.0 g/dL, is an independent risk factor for death in individuals with sickle cell disease living in resource-limited settings. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 941 children with sickle cell anemia; defined as phenotype HbSS or HbSβ0 thalassemia, aged 5 to 12 years screened for enrollment into a large primary stroke prevention trial in Nigeria (SPRING; NCT02560935). The main aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for severe anemia. We found severe anemia to be present in 3.9% (37 of 941) of the SPRING study participants. Severe anemia was significantly associated with a lower educational status of head of household (P=0.003) and a greater number of children per room in the household (P=0.004). Body mass index was not associated with severe anemia. The etiology of severe anemia in children living with sickle cell anemia in Nigeria is likely to be multifactorial with an interplay between an individual’s disease severity and other socio-economic factors related to poverty.
