简要总结
140 SCD patients [70 on Hydroxyurea] will receive Omega-3 capsules whereas another 140 SCD patients [70 on Hydroxyurea] will receive placebo and will be recruited from the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital [SQUH] haematology specialty clinics. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive placebo or Omega-3 for 52 weeks. The aim is to investigate the therapeutic potential of omega-3 fatty acids in the prevention of vaso-occlusive crisis in Omani patients with sickle cell disease[SCD].
