OBJECTIVES: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, causing a range of symptoms and acute and/or chronic complications that impact the quality of life. This study aimed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to identify associated factors in adult patients with SCD in France.

METHODS: DREPAtient is a cross-sectional, multi-centre study conducted from June 2020 to April 2021 in France, and in certain French overseas territories where SCD is highly prevalent. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected online. HRQoL was assessed by SF-36 French version. HRQoL determinants were identified using bivariate and multivariate linear regression analysis.

RESULTS: Five hundred and seventy participants were included, mostly female (68.9%), with a median age of 33 years. The mean highest score was found in the physical functioning dimension (66.8 ± 21.9), and the lowest score in the general health perception dimension 37.3 ± 20.2). The mean score of the physical composite (PCS) and mental composite (MCS) SF-36 summary scores were 53.3 ± 20.5 and 54.8 ± 21.1, respectively. Worse PCS and MCS scores were both reported for female participants, those with moderate or unstable financial situation perception, those who have been hospitalised for a vaso-occlusive crisis or acute chest syndrome in the last 12 months and those with chronic complications.

Participants who were receiving painkillers (β=-8.71, 95%CI:-11.95; -5.47), or oxygen therapy (β=-8.43, 95%CI:-12.75; -4.12) and those with a history of femoral osteonecrosis (β=-6.26, 95%CI:-9.73; -2.79) reported worse PCS score.

Participants with psychological follow-up (β=-7.52, 95%CI:-11.08; -3.95) reported worse MCS score, while those who have a support from relatives reported better MCS score (β=12.72, 95%CI: 5.86; 19.58).

CONCLUSIONS: SCD impact greatly on HRQoL. Perceived financial situation and support from relatives are important predictors of HRQoL in SCD patients. Interventions in order to improve HRQoL outcomes SCD should be considered.
