Sickle cell disease (SCD) state level surveillance data are limited. We performed a retrospective review of emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations from individuals with SCD in Illinois (2016-2020) using the Illinois Health and Hospital Association's Comparative Health Care and Hospital Data Reporting Services. There were 48,094 outpatient ED visits and 31,686 hospitalizations. Most visits (67%) occurred in Cook County, were covered by public insurance (77%) and were from individuals with medium high (40.3%) or high (36.1%) poverty levels. SCD healthcare utilization remains high and surveillance data may inform SCD program development and resource allocation at the state level.AbbreviationsCDCCenters for Disease Control and PreventionEDEmergency DepartmentFDAFood & Drug AdministrationICDInternational Classification of DiseasesILIllinoisSCDSickle cell disease.
