Acute assessment of spinal cord injury in New South Wales: A retrospective study of current practice in two spinal cord injury referral centers
CONCLUSIONS: Documentation of neurological level and grade of SCI within 72 h of injury is not being performed in the large majority of this cohort, which may impede evaluation of neurological improvement in response to acute treatment, and hinder prognostication.PMID:37707355 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2247625 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Measurement properties of assessment instruments of quality of life in people with spinal cord injury: A systematic review
Conclusion: None of the QoL instruments can be highly recommended as the most suitable instrument for the construct and population of interest. The generic instruments SF-36, SF-12, QWB, WHOQOL-DIS, WHOQOL-BREF, QLI-SCI, QOLP-PD, LS Questions, Lisat-9, and BRFSS are the clinical instruments that have the best measurement properties tested and have the potential to be the current best recommendation for assessing QoL in individuals with SCI.PMID:37707365 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2254878 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Structural validity of the Trunk Assessment Scale for Spinal Cord Injury (TASS) with Rasch analysis for individuals with spinal cord disorders
CONCLUSION: Our findings clarify the structural validity of the TASS, and our analyses revealed that the TASS includes an unfitness item and was less challenging for individuals with SCIs. The improvements suggested by these results provide important information for modifying the TASS to a more useful instrument.PMID:37707373 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2023.2256515 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)
