Differences in personal characteristics and health outcomes between ambulatory and non-ambulatory adults with traumatic spinal cord injury

The findings suggest the need for separate analyses based on ambulatory status when assessing long-term health outcomes including hospital utilization.PMID:37819626 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2234726
