To characterize the deaths of 193 children with sickle cell disease screened by a neonatal program from 1998 to 2012 and contrast initial years final years. Deaths were identified active surveillance absent scheduled appointments in Blood Bank Clinical Centers (Hemominas). epidemiological data came death certificates, screening database, medical records, family interviews.
