Sickle cell disease as a disease of hypoxia: new directions for predicting stroke risk in the context of hydroxyurea

患有镰状细胞病(SCD)的儿童在向大脑提供足够的氧气方面存在困难，导致中风和其他更轻微的脑损伤的高风险。这些风险可能会因其他减少体内氧气的因素而恶化，如睡眠呼吸暂停

Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) have trouble providing enough oxygen to the brain, leading to a high risk of stroke and other more subtle brain damage. These risks may be worsened by other factors that reduce oxygen in the body such as sleep apnea
