Figure 3. Quality of life domains for those on chronic exchange transfusions (CET) compared to those not on CET.

Figure 3.

Quality of life domains as measured using the Adult Sickle Cell Quality of Life Measurement Information System (ASCQ-Me) and the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), in patients with SCD on CET (black bars) compared to those not on CET (grey bars). The y-axis shows ASCQ-Me (Stiffness Impact, Social Functioning Impact, Emotional Impact, Sleep Impact) and PROMIS (Anxiety) domain scores. A score of 50 is the median for the validation cohort in all domains. Lower scores represent worse symptoms and higher scores represent better symptoms in all domains except for Anxiety where higher scores represent worse symptoms and lower scores represent better symptoms. Ten is one standard deviation from the mean of the validation cohort for all domains. *p=<0.05
