Prevalence of opioid use in adults with spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Results should be interpreted with caution based on the high heterogeneity and imprecise pooled prevalence of opioids. Contextual details including pain, cohort-specific injury characteristics and opioid dosage were inconsistently reported, indicating a clear need for additional studies in a population at greater risk of experiencing opioid-related adverse effects.PMID:38466869 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2319384 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Predicting inpatient rehabilitation length of stay for adults with traumatic spinal cord injury
CONCLUSION: We developed a simple equation to predict R-LOS based on the level of impairment and total FIM scores in persons with TSCI. These data have implications for health system planning, improvement, and innovation, and provide insights to support further research into the predictors of R-LOS, identification of higher-risk individuals.PMID:38466871 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2325165 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)

Epidemiological age-based differences in traumatic spinal cord injury patients: A multicenter study based on 13,334 inpatients
CONCLUSIONS: As the first study to focus on age differences of TSCI patients in China, this study found many differences, in demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment status, and economic costs, between older and younger TSCI patients. The number and proportion of elderly patients increased, and the rate of early surgery for elderly patients is low.PMID:38426946 | DOI:10.1080/10790268.2024.2309716 (Source: Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine)
