چکیده

The National Spinal Cord Injury Database has been in existence since 1973 and captures data from an estimated 13% of new SCI cases in the U.S. Since its inception, 28 federally funded SCI Model Systems have contributed data to the National SCI Database. As of December 2011, the database contained information on 28,450 persons who sustained traumatic spinal cord injuries. All the remaining statistics on this sheet are derived from this database or from collaborative studies conducted by the model systems. Detailed discussions of all topics on this sheet may be found in special issues of the journal Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation published in November 1999, November 2004, and March 2011.
