“…The male/female ratio was 4.33:1 in the present research, which was similar to other studies, 4,11,[15][16][17] particularly similar to a systematic review. 7 Similar to other regions, 10,11 in Chongqing, the majority of women were also employed in occupations with low risk of TSCI, while high physical-risk behaviors are primarily performed by men.…”

“…The results of occupational characteristics in the current study were the same as previously reported in Tianjin, 11 Anhui, 10 and India. 15 In our results, the percentages of peasants and laborers were 31.9% (177) and 23.6% (131), respectively. This fact was mainly because the educational background of these patients was relatively low, thus limiting them to manual work and increased vulnerability to TSCI, which may explain the increased burden of TSCI in this occupational group.…”

“…15 A study done by Mathur et al in India found that 53% patients had a history of fall. 16 Assaults, including firearm injuries are the third most common cause responsible for TSCI. A study done in South America showed 16.8% cases of firearm injuries, whereas a Brazilian study showed 42% cases, while it was 25% in a study from Turkey and 21% from Africa.…”

Objectives: To assess the spectrum of different spinal disorders presenting to the Neurosurgical department of public sector tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar. Materials and Methods:This was a retrospective study carried out in the Neurosurgery departments of two public sector tertiary care hospitals in district Peshawar from January 2012 to December 2018. Our inclusion criteria comprised of all those patients who were having spinal abnormalities irrespective of age and gender, admitted either via emergency or OPD. We excluded those patients who were dead on arrival or whose data was lacking including those who did not do their follow up and those who were not given consent for the study.Results: Out of total 5,579 patients, male to female ratio was 1:1.7. The age range was from 6 days to 78 years. Elective cases were 63.61% (n = 3,549) and emergency were 36.37% (n = 2,030). TSCI were 35.01% (n = 1,953) and NTSCI were 3,626 (n = 64.99%). Out of all patients, 91.03% (n = 5,079) were treated surgically. About 79% (n = 4,406) had a good outcome. Conclusion:We collected data and made a survey of the spectrum of different spinal abnormalities resulting from various etiologies focused over the last 6 years. We found a variety of cases presenting to our departments of neurosurgery. Non traumatic spinal injuries are more frequent as compared to traumatic ones.

“…Prospective data was collected during 2016, although this is not yet complete, pending the discharge of some patients from rehabilitation. Prospective [4-6] and retrospective [7-11] studies are both widely published, all useful in the country or context in which they were planned. While awaiting completion of the collection and analysis of prospective data, the conclusion from a feasibility exercise was that a retrospective study would be useful to analyse trends over successive years, to assist with health services planning [12].…”

Background: The International Spinal Cord Society and World Health Organisation recommend the collection of epidemiological data on traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). A 1-year prospective study is ongoing in Ireland. While the results of this study are awaited, it was concluded from a feasibility exercise that a complete retrospective dataset, 2010–2015, could be obtained and would be useful for service planning. Methods: All patients with TSCI discharged from the national SCI acute and rehabilitation centres were included. Data was collected on gender, age, aetiology, level of injury, American Spinal Injuries Association impairment scale, length of rehabilitation admission and discharge destination. Population denominators were national census figures 2006 and 2011, rolled forward. Results: The incidence of TSCI remained constant throughout the study period, 11.5–13.3 per million per year. The mean age of injury onset was 48.9 (SD 19.8) years. Males accounted for 71.5%. The most common injury level/AIS was incomplete tetraplegia, accounting for 43.2% of all TSCI. Leading aetiology was falls, accounting for 53.3% of injuries. Patients with incomplete tetraplegia were older than those with all other injuries (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The epidemiological trends identified are similar to those prevalent elsewhere in the developed world. More incomplete tetraplegia among an older patient population necessitates a review of how acute care and rehabilitation services are delivered.
