There is a lack of consensus on transfusion use partly due to concern for alloimmunization. This study examined alloimmunization in SCD pregnancies managed with chronic transfusion therapy (CTT) versus on\u2010demand transfusion (ODT). A secondary aim was to quantify the proportion of SCD pregnancies that met guideline indications for CTT that received CTT in pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a two\u2010center, retrospective study of pregnancy in SCD over two decades. We compared alloimmunization between those who received CTT versus ODT by examining the Sickle Cell Pregnancy and Reproductive Knowledge Syndicate database. A secondary analysis applied American Society of Hematology (2020) and\/or British Society for Haematology (2021) criteria for CTT in pregnancy to calculate guideline compliance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 145 subjects, 26 received CTT and 119 received ODT. Alloimmunization incidence was 4%, with no significant difference by transfusion group (1\/26 CTT vs. 5\/119 ODT,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20091.0). Five ODT subjects became alloimmunized (5\/46). One CTT subject was alloimmunized (1\/26) after receiving an unplanned ODT. Of all pregnancies, 87% met ASH criteria and 65% met BSH criteria for CTT, while 20% received CTT.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For patients with SCD in pregnancy, CTT may not pose a greater alloimmunization risk than ODT.
