In this cohort of children with SCD who were well vaccinated and received adequate prophylaxis, we found a low rate of bacteremia and CSBI. We described several low-risk factors for CSBI and ACS, all of them with a high NPV. These findings may help to develop a risk score to safely select the patients that could be managed with a more conservative approach.
