Jiang F, Jaja BNR, Kurpad SN, et al. - In this multicenter prospective registry, researchers evaluated the prevalence of adverse events after traumatic spinal cord injury and assessed the impacts on long-term clinical outcome. Participants in the study were 801 spinal cord injury patients. For 502 patients, a total of 2,303 adverse events have been recorded. After accounting for potential confounders, the group that developed adverse events exhibited less neurologic recovery and was more inclined to need assisted breathing; dependent ambulation and have impaired bladder or bowel function measured using the Spinal Cord Independence Measure subscores. According to this contemporary series, acute adverse events were common and were linked to worsened long-term results following traumatic spinal cord injury.
