Epidemiological features of traumatic spinal cord injury in Guangdong Province, China.
Conclusion: The number of TSCI patients in Guangdong Province is large and is exhibiting a rising trend. The leading causes were falls and MVCs. The low-falls (height < 1 m) group has expanded over this period. With China entering an ageing society, more appropriate preventative measures should be implemented for fall-related injuries among the elderly.
