Brief Summary:

Sickle cell disease (SCD) necessitates a paediatric treatment plan that considers the influence of psychological, family and intercultural factors. At the Louis-Mourier Hospital (APHP) in Colombes, France, a paediatric-psychological partnership where a clinical psychologist accompanies the paediatrician at programmed consultations was introduced.

The psychological repercussions of SCD were assessed among children and their parents treated in Colombes and in two other paediatric units without a paediatric-psychological partnership.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Patients in centre 1: Louis-Mourier Hospital
All SCD follow-up consultations were conducted jointly by a paediatrician and a clinical psychologist.
Other: Assessment of psychological repercussions of SCD
Quantitative relevant data culled from medical files and qualitative analysis based on data gathered from child and parent interviews, were collected in the three hospitals.

Patients in centre 2: Evry hospital
All SCD follow-up consultations were conducted by a paediatrician alone. The unit had close links with the local psycho-medical paediatric care centre when specialized referrals were necessary.
Other: Assessment of psychological repercussions of SCD
Quantitative relevant data culled from medical files and qualitative analysis based on data gathered from child and parent interviews, were collected in the three hospitals.

Patients in centre 3: Clamart hospital
All SCD follow-up consultations were conducted by a paediatrician alone.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test scores (ROCF recall scores) [ Time Frame: 1 day ]
    The Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test (ROCF) is a neuropsychological assessment in which patients are asked to reproduce a complicated line drawing, first by copying it freehand (recognition), and then drawing from memory (recall). Scoring of drawings is based on the widely used 36-point scoring system (0 being the worst score and 36 the best).
