Abstract

To examine differences in rehabilitation outcomes for older patients with a nontraumatic spinal cord injury (NT-SCI) for 5 etiologic diagnoses: degenerative spinal disease (DSD), malignant spinal tumor, benign spinal tumor, vascular ischemia, and spinal abscess. Retrospective cohort study that used Medicare claims and assessment data. A total of 479 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and units. A total of 1780 Medicare beneficiaries (65-74 years old) with incomplete paraplegia attributable to NT-SCI who were discharged from inpatient rehabilitation facilities from 2002 through 2005. Not applicable. Length of stay, discharge Functional Independence Measure (FIM) instrument motor item and subscale scores, and discharge destination. Demographic characteristics varied by etiology group. Mean +/- SD rehabilitation stays ranged from 13.3 +/- 7.7 days for DSD to 26.4 +/- 13.4 days for vascular ischemia. Adjusted data showed stays differed (P < .001) across etiology groups. Adjusted discharge mean self-care and mobility subscores revealed that patients with DSD and benign tumor were more independent (P < .001) than patients with a malignant tumor or spinal abscess. Patients with vascular ischemia were more dependent (P < .01) in mobili...Continue Reading
