In order to document the incidence of secondary complications following spinal cord injury (SCI), data were collected from 348 patients with post-acute SCI. More than 95% of these patients reported at least one secondary problem, and more than half (58%) reported three or more. Statistical analyses indicated that, in general, the number and severity of complications varied with the time since injury. Obesity, pain, spasticity, urinary tract infections, and pressure sores were common. Issues of social integration were also identified. The results suggest that improvement is needed in practices related to prevention and follow-up.
为记录脊髓损伤（SCI）后继发性并发症的发生率，我们收集了348例急性SCI后患者的数据。超过95%的这些患者报告至少有一个继发性问题，超过一半（58%）的患者报告有三个或更多。统计分析表明，一般来说，并发症的数量和严重程度随受伤后的时间而变化。肥胖、疼痛、痉挛、尿路感染和压疮很常见。还发现了社会融入问题。结果表明，在预防和随访相关实践方面需要改进。
