CORE--Clinical Core

我们临床核心的目的是为一大批镰状细胞病患者提供途径，这些患者将有可能用于中心间的合作临床试验和波士顿综合镰状细胞中心的研究人员的研究。我们还将提供最高水平的病人护理，确保获得在血红蛋白病管理方面受过专门培训的医生和护士，他们了解镰状细胞病治疗的最新进展。波士顿的三个医疗中心，波士顿医疗中心，布里格姆妇女医院和儿童医院，以及密西西比大学医疗中心为1600多名镰状细胞病患者提供服务。临床核心的每个组成部分都由一名或多名在镰状细胞病患者护理方面经验丰富的医生和同样经验丰富的护理人员组成。每个诊所都有参与镰状细胞病临床试验的长期和成功的记录。

Aims of our Clinical Core are to provide access to a large group of patients with sickle cell disease who will be potentially available for collaborative inter-center clinical trials and for the studies of investigators within the Boston Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center. We will also deliver the highest level of patient care available by assuring access to physicians and nurses specially trained in managing hemoglobinopathies who are aware of the most recent advances in sickle cell disease treatment. Three medical centers in Boston, Boston Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Children's Hospital, and, the University of Mississippi Medical Center provide access to more than 1600 patients with sickle cell disease. Each component of the Clinical Core is staffed by one or more physicians experienced in the care of patients with sickle cell disease and by a similarly experienced nursing staff. Each clinic has a long and successful record of participation in clinical trials in sickle cell disease.
