STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective descriptive study.
OBJECTIVES: To summarize epidemiologic data on nontraumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) for the last 30 years and compare these findings to data from individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI).
SETTING: National Rehabilitation Center affiliated with the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Korea.
METHODS: The medical records of 948 individuals with NTSCIs were retrospectively reviewed. Three groups were created based on onset period (1990-1999, 2000-2009, 2010-2019) and six groups based on age (≤15, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60, 61-75, and ≥76 years). Pearson's chi-square and analysis of variance tests were used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The male-to-female ratio was 1.30:1 for NTSCI individuals and 3.47:1 for TSCI individuals. The mean age (standard deviation [SD]) at the time of injury increased from 38.7 (SD = 18.1) years in the 1990s to 55.5 (SD = 16.6) years in the 2010s (F = 44.597, p ≤ 0.001). Vertebral column degenerative disorder was the primary cause of injury in 28.9% of the cases, and the most common neurologic level was T12-L2. Paraplegia occurred in 74.6% of cases, and tetraplegia in 25.4% of cases. The proportion of NTSCI individuals increased from 11.2% to 29.3% during the observation period.
CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of NTSCI among total spinal cord injuries has increased in Korea over the last 30 years (1990-2019). Compared to individuals with TSCI, those with NTSCI had a higher age at onset, with different male-to-female ratios. Our study is the most comprehensive investigation of NTSCI in Korea, and our findings can inform research directions and medical guidelines.
