Retrospective cross-sectional study.
To describe the epidemiological profile of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), who visited the Sarah Network in 2014.
Brazil, Brasília-Federal District.
A review of the electronic medical records of persons with SCI, aged over 15 years, was carried out.
The medical records of 2076 persons were evaluated: 83% were male, the mean age was 31 years, 40% did not complete elementary school, 67.7% had paraplegia, and 74.4% had complete SCI. The primary etiologies were gunshot wounds (28.4%), motorcycle accidents (24.6%), and motor vehicle accidents (19.1%). In the comparative analysis between genders, differences were observed regarding the level of education and completeness of injury.
Gunshot wounds were the main cause of SCI in our population, comprising mostly male individuals with thoracic injury, resulting in complete SCI. Data show a high incidence of SCI in young adults owing to violence in Brazil.
回顾性横断面研究。
描述2014年就诊于莎拉网络的脊髓损伤（SCI）患者的流行病学特征。
巴西，巴西利亚联邦区。
对15岁以上脊髓损伤患者的电子病历进行回顾。
共评估了2076人的病历：83%为男性，平均年龄31岁，40%未完成小学教育，67.7%患有截瘫，74.4%患有完全性脊髓损伤。主要病因是枪伤（28.4%）、摩托车事故（24.6%）和机动车事故（19.1%）。在性别比较分析中，观察到教育程度和损伤完整性方面的差异。
枪伤是我们研究人群中脊髓损伤的主要原因，主要为男性胸段损伤患者，导致完全性脊髓损伤。数据显示，由于巴西的暴力行为，年轻成年人中脊髓损伤的发病率较高。
