Do you screen adults in your practice with sickle cell disease for silent cerebral infarcts?
The ASH 2020 guidelines have "recommended that adults with HbSS or HbSβ0 thalassemia be screened at least once for silent cerebral infarcts even though there is no evidence for secondary prevention of silent cerebral infarcts in the adult age group." Are you doing this in your practice (assuming it was not already done in childhood)?
