Prediction of bowel management independence after ischemic spinal cord injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic spinal cord injury (SCI) belongs to the heterogeneous group of non-traumatic SCI, while the course of sensorimotor and functional recovery is comparable to traumatic SCI. Recently, we derived from data of patients with traumatic SCI a valid model to predict an independent and reliable bowel management one year after SCI.

Aim

To evaluate the performance of this model to predict an independent and reliable bowel management one year following ischemic SCI.

Design

Prognostic study - observational study.

Setting

European Multicenter Study about Spinal Cord Injury (EMSCI) ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01571531.

Population

One hundred and forty-two patients with ischemic SCI of various level and severity of injury.

Methods

The prediction mod
