Abstract
To describe and compare epidemiologic characteristics of patients with spinal cord dysfunction admitted to spinal rehabilitation units (SRUs) in 9 countries (Australia, Canada, Italy, India, Ireland, The Netherlands, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States). Retrospective multicenter open-cohort case series. SRUs. Patients (N=956) with initial onset of spinal cord dysfunction consecutively admitted between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2010. Median age on admission was 59 years (interquartile range [IQR], 46-70), and 60.8% of patients were men. Not applicable. Demographic characteristics (eg, age, sex), time frame over which clinical symptoms of spinal cord dysfunction developed, etiology, length of stay in hospital, level of lesion and American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade, discharge destination, and inpatient mortality. The time frame of onset of spinal cord dysfunction symptoms was as follows: ≤1 day (28.5%); ≤1 week (13.8%); >1 week but ≤1 month (10.5%), and >1 month (47.2%). Most common etiologies were degenerative conditions (30.8%), malignant tumors (16.2%), ischemia (10.9%), benign tumors (8.7%), and bacterial infections (7.1%). Most patients (72.3%) had paraplegia. The AIS grade on ...Continue Reading
