Sickle Cell Outcome Grading System

Currently in pilot phase, SCOGS is a new method for classifying disease severity for sickle cell disease (SCD), collaboratively developed in the US by adapting the model of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) to cover all major SCD complications. This SCD assessment tool includes definitions, diagnostic criteria, severity gradings, and frequency classifications for 53 health outcome events. A future phase of SCOGS will expand to adapt its use in global contexts, after testing is completed in the US.
