Prevalence of SCIs in unselected children and adults with HbSS or HbSβ0thalassemia. Silent cerebral infarcts (SCI) were detected with MRI of the brain in children and adults with HbSS or HbSβ0 thalassemia and no history of focal neurological deficits or strokes. Each point represents distinct cross-sectional studies in children and adults with HbSS or HbSβ0 thalassemia.4 Reprinted from Kassim et al with permission.4
