Impact of Individualized versus Weight-Based Pain Protocols on Patient Satisfaction for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease Experiencing a Vaso-Occlusive Episode

National guidelines for the acute management of sickle cell disease (SCD) vaso-occlusive episodes (VOE) recommend use of a patient-specific (PSP) or a weight-based protocol. We compared patient satisfaction with pain management between those randomized to receive either a PSP or weight-based pain protocol in the COMPARE-VOE randomized control trial.
