Safety Evaluation of DREPADOM - Home Care Services and Hospitalizations for Sickle Cell Disease Patients

Overview

The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of ACS within the DREPADOM system and compare it to expected incidences of ACS (historic cohorts of PRESEV1 and PRESEV2)

This prospective, observational study will take place, as follows: Calculation of the PRESEV score in the ER will determine or not eligibility of the patient in the DREPADOM structure. With a low score, a patient is eligible for home monitoring and after duly provided information, can sign a patient consent for the use of personal medical data. The coordinating nurse from DREPADOM can then set up a whole network, with the delivery of oxygen supply at the patient's house, dispatch of a medical prescription to a neighboring pharmacy and daily visits from homecare service providers. Both opioids and parenteral hydration and treatments can be prescribed and daily visits, up to three, are programmed. As such, the patient receives a minimum of 1 visit per day from a nurse for monitoring and is provided with a medical oxygen concentrator for home use (3L/min continuously or for at least 15h/day) and parenteral hydration. In addition, patients are called daily by general practitioners or SCD experts, for teleconsultations. The DREPADOM coordinating nurse is in constant interaction with nurses/providers of homecare services/medical doctors and status and evolution of the patient's global condition is reported both through the constant contact with the coordinating nurse from DREPADOM and in a dedicated software (Link4Life), with monitoring of blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate, pain, etc… Link4Life is a software tool developed especially for home monitoring. It is adaptable to specific disorders, fully complies with the French Law for Health Data management and allows data extraction. Link4Life has been adapted to SCD in full collaboration with SCD medical experts of the Henri Mondor hospital. It is to be noted that all medical doctors (general practitioners or SCD experts), as well as coordinating and visiting nurses have all access to this application. As such, Link4Life will gather and capture all patient data. When reporting patients' clinical parameters daily in the dedicated app (controlled by the DREPADOM team of experts), alerts are generated in the software when these are above or below determined thresholds. The medical team of experts from DREPADOM then takes over for daily teleconsultations and medical decisions for pursuing home monitoring or hospital admittance. Of important note, a patient can be included twice in the DREPADOM study, for two distinct VOCs. Indeed, the PRESEV1 study highlighted that each crisis is unique and should be treated accordingly. Data capture will be done through the Link4Life software, as well as extraction for data analysis. * Open-label * Blind * Number of treatment arms: Single arm Multi arms specify the number of arms: * Not Controlled * Controlled, specify the comparator: Versus placebo Versus reference product Versus other (specify) -Randomized: Parallel group Cross over Other (specify) -Intervention (gas and/or drug, and/or device, and/or service /study arm):
