Depression, quality of life, and medical resource utilization in sickle cell disease.
Researchers performed an analytic epidemiologic prospective study to determine the prevalence of depression in adult patients with sickle cell disease and its association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and medical resource utilization. They found that depression was associated with worse physical and mental HRQoL scores and during the 6 months following diagnosis, mean total health care costs were significantly higher in depressed patients than in nondepressed patients.

A systematic review of the association between depression and health care utilization in children and adults with sickle cell disease.
The authors sought to determine whether depression or depressive symptoms are associated with health care utilization among children and adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). They found that, overall, depressive symptoms are common in SCD and may increase risk for poor outcomes including health care utilization. They further found a modest association between depression and health care utilization in SCD.
