Table 9. Mortality in the SCD and control groups.

The p-value was computed by using Fisher’s Exact test; a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

IUFD: intrauterine fetal death, SCD: sickle cell disease

Mortality	SCD (n = 217) n (%)	Control (n = 200) n (%)	P-value
No mortality	210 (96.8)	197 (98.5)	0.342
Neonatal death	4 (1.8)	1 (0.5)	0.374
Stillbirth	1 (0.5)	2 (1)	0.609
IUFD	2 (0.9)	0 (0)	0.500
Maternal death	1 (0.5)	0 (0)	1.000
