Forty women with SCD were recruited into the study. After enrollment, 17.5% (7/40) of the participants were lost to follow-up and completed no eDiary mobile application entries. A total of 82.5% (33/40) completed the eDiary mobile application during the pregnancy interval (third trimester to 6 weeks after childbirth) and the after-pregnancy interval (beginning at 6 months to end of 9 months after childbirth). Table 2, therefore, includes data for only the 33 participants who completed the eDiary entries.
The clinical outcomes were an eDiary self-report of acute SCD pain and a chief complaint of acute SCD pain requiring hospitalization, which lasted for at least 2 hours and required opioid treatment.
