The present investigation was designed to determinate the nature, pattern, and extent of cognitive deficits in a group of participants with subacute and chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).
A cross-sectional study was conducted in both patients with subacute and chronic SCI. Different cognitive functions were evaluated through a neuropsychological protocol designed for this purpose, taking into account the patient's emotional state.
A total of 100 patients suffering a spinal cord injury were evaluated. There were no differences between the two groups when age, sex, level of education, and region of origin were studied. The chronic injured patients obtained lower scores in the neuropsychological evaluation protocol respective to the subacute injured patients.
Subjects with chronic spinal cord injury presented a cognitive profile that differed greatly in the number of altered cognitive functions as well as in their magnitude from the subacute spinal cord injured patient profile. Moreover, cognitive dysfunction may be important beyond the end of the first stage of rehabilitation as it can affect an individual's quality of life and possible integration in society.
本研究旨在确定一组亚急性和慢性脊髓损伤（SCI）参与者认知缺陷的性质、模式和程度。
对亚急性和慢性SCI患者进行了一项横断面研究。通过为此目的设计的神经心理学方案评估不同的认知功能，同时考虑患者的情绪状态。
共评估了100例脊髓损伤患者。在研究年龄、性别、教育水平和原籍地区时，两组之间没有差异。与亚急性损伤患者相比，慢性损伤患者在神经心理学评估方案中得分较低。
慢性脊髓损伤患者的认知概况在认知功能改变的数量及其严重程度方面与亚急性脊髓损伤患者的概况有很大不同。此外，认知功能障碍在康复第一阶段结束后可能仍然很重要，因为它会影响个人的生活质量和融入社会的可能性。
