背景：镰状细胞病(SCD)儿童表现为认知和学习功能缺陷。这项研究比较了SCD儿童的学业成就与非裔美国学生的国家、州和地方学区率的关系。方法完成了SCD儿童的回顾图表，并从照顾者报告和学校记录中收集了学术信息。计算了单样本比例测试，以比较患有SCD的儿童相对于国家、州和当地学区非裔美国学生的标准数据的学业成就。结果总共审查了197份患者记录。与非裔美国学生的全国、州和地方学区率相比，患有SCD的儿童保留了较高的年级比例。此外，与国家、州和地方学区率相比，SCD儿童接受特殊教育服务的比例更高。结论与非裔美国同龄人相比，SCD儿童接受特殊教育服务和年级保持的比例更高。总体而言，与健康的非裔美国同龄人相比，患有SCD的儿童表现出较差的学业成就，这突显了需要更多地关注特殊教育服务，以解决这一群体中的学校表现问题。
BACKGROUNDChildren with sickle cell disease (SCD) demonstrate deficits in cognitive and academic functioning. This study compared the academic attainment of children with SCD relative to national, state, and local school district rates for African American students.METHODSA retrospective chart review of children with SCD was completed and academic information was collected from caregiver report and school records. One-sample tests of proportions were calculated to compare academic attainment rates in children with SCD relative to national, state, and local school district normative data of African American students.RESULTSOverall, 197 patient records were reviewed. A higher proportion of children with SCD were retained a grade relative to national, state, and local school district rates for African American students. In addition, a higher proportion of children with SCD received special education services relative to the national, state, and local school district rates for African American students.CONCLUSIONChildren with SCD demonstrate higher rates of special education services and grade retention relative to African American peers. Overall, children with SCD demonstrate poorer academic attainment relative to healthy, African American peers highlighting the need for increased focus on special education services to address school performance issues within this population.
