Abstract: (167 Views)
Background & Aim: Several studies have been carried out on traumatic spine and spinal cord injuries (SCI) in Iran. A paucity of them is focused on epidemiological trends. A Ten-Year single-center retrospective analysis was conducted to demonstrate epidemiological trends of traumatic spinal injuries.
Methods and Materials/Patients: The study was performed on 1494 spine-injured patients who were admitted to the main referral spine trauma center in southeast of Iran between 2013 to 2022. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression were used to examine patient’s demographics, level of injury, leading causes, locations, and management.
Results: Over 10 years, the male-to-female ratio remained consistent at 3·6:1. The mean ± standard devieation of age of patients was 37·5 ± 15·7 years old. The prevalence of SCI was 23·2% and The odds of SCI increased by 5% over ten years and decreased by 2% with increasing age. The cervical injury (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2·84), thoracic injury (aOR = 1·41), and age (aOR = 0·98) were significantly associated with SCI. Car accident was the most common (36·2%) leading cause of spine injury and had 12% higher odds of SCI over ten years. While, occupants of pickup trucks, vans and buses had a 7% decrease in SCI.
Conclusion: This study highlighted that the SCI risk has grown and car occupants had a higher risk of SCI over ten years. So, preventive strategies to decrease traumatic spine and spinal cord injuries should be considered.
