Article Abstract
Executive functions are compromised in children with sickle cell anemia. There is limited research on the development of executive functions in preschool children with sickle cell anemia and the factors that contribute to executive dysfunction. We looked at the relation between biomedical and environmental factors, including family functioning and socioeconomic status, and executive functions in 22 preschool children with sickle cell anemia. We found that family functioning was the strongest predictor of executive outcomes in young children with sickle cell anemia with no evidence for an influence of disease severity at this early stage.

Importance: Significant advancements have been made in the management of sickle cell disease (SCD); an inherited blood disorder most prevalent among African Americans. While chronic pain is a hallmark of SCD and has been the primary focus of treatment, contemporary literature highlights the potential presence of developmental issues related to speech, language, neurocognitive, and auditory abilities that are often overlooked in SCD management.
Observations: This paper explores the spectrum of communication-related challenges that specifically affect children with SCD and fall within the scope of practice for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and audiologists (AUDs).

Background And Aims: Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients are at a higher risk of pneumococcal invasive diseases. Vaccination is the central strategy for protecting these children, along with penicillin prophylaxis. However, it is unclear how often these children should be revaccinated with pneumococcal vaccines.

In resource-limited settings in Africa, which harbour the greatest burden of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) globally, poor care outcomes are driven in part, by a lack of trained healthcare providers (HCP) and an absence of context-specific treatment guidelines appropriate to the level of healthcare facility. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a structured training program on HCP's knowledge of SCD in Ghana. This was prospective cross-sectional study involving HCPs from 46 health facilities from 4 out of 16 regions in Ghana.
