Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Qualitative Spleen Function From Randomized Control Trial Baseline Measurement - Compared Between Children Randomized to Hydroxyurea vs Placebo — 26; 28; 32; 22 Participants — p=0.33
Summary
The BABY HUG Treatment Study was designed to see if treatment with the drug hydroxyurea (also called HU) in children with sickle cell disease could prevent organ damage, especially in the spleen and kidneys. There was also a chance that treatment could prevent painful crises, lung disease, stroke, and blood infection.
