Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: the spectrum of pulmonary complications in sickle cell anemia (SCA) comprises mainly of acute chest syndrome (ACS), pulmonary hypertension (PH) and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). This study was conducted to examine the abnormalities in pulmonary function tests (PFTs) seen in children with SCA.
UNASSIGNED: electronic databases (Cochrane library, PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science) were used as data sources. Two authors independently reviewed studies. All case-control studies with PFT performed in patients with SCA and normal controls were reviewed. Pulmonary functions were assessed with the help of spirometry, lung volume and gas diffusion findings.
UNASSIGNED: nine studies with 788 SCA children and 1101 controls were analyzed. For all studies, the pooled mean difference for forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), total lung capacity (TLC) and carbon mono-oxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) were -12.67, (95% CI: -15.41,-9.94), -11.69, (95% CI: -14.24, -9.14), -1.90, (95% CI: -4.32, 0.52), -3.36 (95% CI: -6.69, -0.02), -7.35, (95% CI: -14.97, -0.27) and -4.68, (95% CI -20.64, -11.29) respectively. FEV1 and FVC and were the only parameters found to be significantly decreased.
UNASSIGNED: sickle cell anemia was associated with lower FEV1 and FVC, thus, supporting the role of routine monitoring for the progression of lung function decline in children with SCA with ACS. We recommend routine screening and lung function monitoring for early recognition of pulmonary function decline.
