A New Scale for Predicting the Risk of In-hospital Mortality in Patients With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyze the relative factors influencing in-hospital mortality in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), and develop a score scale for predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality.

Method

We reviewed the medical records from 59 spine centers in mainland China from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. The inclusion criteria were (1) confirmed diagnosis of TSCI, (2) hospitalization within 7 days of injury, and (3) affecting neurological level from C1 to L1. The exclusion criteria were (1) readmission, and (2) incomplete data. Included patients were classified into the survival and non-survival groups according to their status at discharge. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to identify the factors related to in-hospital mortal
