STUDY DESIGN
A retrospective analytical study.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the epidemiologic pattern of spinal cord injury (SCI) over the last decade.
SETTING
Patients admitted in the spinal cord injury unit at a university hospital between 1 January 2001 and 31 December 2013.
METHODS
A review of the clinical history of the patients was conducted. Patients were allocated according to traumatic (traffic and non-traffic accidents) or non-traumatic origin (tumour and non-tumour disease). Information about gender, age, admission and discharge date and cause, level and grade of spinal cord injury was collected. An analysis using the time-trend series was performed.
RESULTS
The average length of stay decreases 1.5 days quarterly, and the average patient's age increases 0.25 year quarterly. No trend was observed with respect to the number of cases.
CONCLUSION
Although the number of patients with an SCI caused by an accident has decreased and the average age of patients with an SCI has increased, it cannot be said that there has been a paradigm shift in patients with SCI.
研究设计
一项回顾性分析研究。
目的
确定过去十年脊髓损伤（SCI）的流行病学模式。
研究背景
2001年1月1日至2013年12月31日期间在一家大学医院脊髓损伤病房收治的患者。
方法
对患者的临床病史进行回顾。患者按创伤性（交通和非交通事故）或非创伤性病因（肿瘤和非肿瘤疾病）分类。收集有关性别、年龄、入院和出院日期以及脊髓损伤的原因、部位和程度的信息。采用时间趋势序列进行分析。
结果
平均住院时间每季度减少1.5天，患者平均年龄每季度增加0.25岁。未观察到病例数的趋势。
结论
尽管因事故导致脊髓损伤的患者数量有所减少，且脊髓损伤患者的平均年龄有所增加，但不能说脊髓损伤患者的情况已发生范式转变。
