STUDY DESIGN: Hospital-based retrospective review.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological characteristics and trends of traumatic spinal cord injury in Tianjin, China.
SETTING: Tianjin Medical University General Hospital.
METHODS: Medical records of 239 patients with traumatic spinal cord injury admitted to a general hospital from 1998 to 2009 were reviewed. Variables included gender, age, marital status, occupation, etiology, time of injury, level, and severity of injury. Epidemiological characteristics of different countries were compared.
RESULTS: Over this period, the mean age of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury was 45.4 ± 14.1 years, and the male/female ratio was 4.6:1. In all, 86.2% were married. The leading cause was fall (52.3%), followed by motor vehicle collision (36.4%). The most common injury site was the cervical spinal cord, accounting for 82.0%. Incomplete tetraplegia made up for 59.4%, followed by complete tetraplegia (22.6%). Eight patients died after operation, six of whom died from respiratory complications.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study are in accordance with that of most other developing countries; falls and motor vehicle collisions were the two leading causes, but the mean age was older. Percentage of the aged with traumatic spinal cord injury was increasing. The low-falls group tended to expand over this period. All these data indicated that the preventive programs should focus on the traffic accidents and falls, and more attention should be paid to the aged for the vulnerability to low fall.
