Prophylactic Hydroxyurea Treatment Is Associated with Improved Cerebral Hemodynamics as a Surrogate Marker of Stroke Risk in Sickle Cell Disease: A Retrospective Comparative Analysis

Sickle cell disease (SCD) increases the incidence of childhood stroke eighty-fold. Stroke risk can be estimated by measurement of the blood velocity through the middle cerebral artery (MCA) using transcranial doppler ultrasound (TCD).
