Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzed the trends and characteristics of traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCIs) in Korea over a 29-year period from 1990 to 2019, using a retrospective review of 3,395 medical records.
  • The average age of individuals with TSCIs increased significantly, with land transport injuries declining and falls becoming the primary cause, especially for those over 60 years old.
  • The findings emphasize the need for national education and prevention campaigns focused on reducing fall-related TSCIs, particularly among older adults.

Article Synopsis
  • The study is a retrospective analysis assessing nontraumatic spinal cord injuries (NTSCI) over the past 30 years, focusing on epidemiological differences compared to traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI).
  • Researchers reviewed medical records of 948 NTSCI patients and found a significant increase in age at injury and a rise in the proportion of NTSCI cases from 11.2% to 29.3%, indicating a trend towards older individuals experiencing these injuries.
  • The findings reveal a male-to-female ratio of 1.30:1 for NTSCI, contrasting with 3.47:1 for TSCI, underlining differences in injury demographics that can guide future medical research and treatment strategies in Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • * Out of 366 patients reviewed, 69.1% reported NP, with higher rates observed among those who were married, experienced traumatic injuries, or had depressive moods; marital status and mood were identified as significant predictors of NP.
  • * The average NP intensity was rated at 4.52 on a Numeric Rating Scale, with certain groups (like females and those with below-level NP) reporting more severe pain; the study suggests that NP should be actively managed, especially in patients scoring 4.5 or higher. *
