Making a Difference Across the Lifespan

New! Sickle Cell Disease Annual Data Reports and Fact Sheets

The Sickle Cell Data Collection (SCDC) program determines the number of people living with sickle cell disease (SCD) and monitors changes related to their health over time.

Data Reports

SCDC data reports for 2005 and 2010–2016 for California and 2005 and 2010–2015 for Georgia are now available online.

The maps and figures in these reports represent data on demographics (e.g., age, sex, and geographic information), hospitalizations, and emergency department visits for individuals with SCD living in California and Georgia. 

SCDC identified 4,689 people with SCD living in California in 2016 and 8,017 people with SCD living in Georgia in 2015.


Fact Sheets


Two new fact sheets highlight the most recent annual SCDC data for California (2016) and Georgia (2015):
  • “Sickle Cell Disease in…” provides an overview of the demographics and healthcare utilization patterns of people with SCD and is targeted to members of the general public looking for basic information about those living with SCD.




“Hospital and Emergency Department (ED) Utilization for People with SCD” provides additional details about healthcare utilization patterns in this population (including readmission and payer information) and is targeted to policy officials, public health professionals, and SCD organizations.
