Nerve transfer for upper extremity reanimation in people with spinal cord injury: A 2-year follow-up case series.

Objective: To describe the 2-year functional outcomes of nerve transfer (NT) for upper extremity reanimation.

Study Design: A prospective case series.

Setting: A highly specialized rehabilitation hospital for spinal cord injury (SCI) in Italy.

Impact of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms on Severe Acquired Brain Injury Rehabilitation: An Observational Study.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIa) and antimicrobial resistance are expected to be the next threat to human health and are most frequent in people with severe acquired brain injury (SABI), who can be more easily colonized by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). The study's aim is to investigate the impact of MDRO colonizations and infections on SABI rehabilitation outcomes. This retrospective observational study was performed in a tertiary referral specialized rehabilitation hospital.

Injury Patterns and Gender in Italy.

Introduction: Globally, injuries pose significant public health challenges, with road traffic accidents in particular being responsible for considerable morbidity, mortality, and economic distress. Italy has been significantly impacted due to its high population density and frequency of road traffic and domestic incidents.

Method: This study set out to investigate the incidence of self-reported road traffic and home and leisure accidents in the Italian general population.

Healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance in severe acquired brain injury: a retrospective multicenter study.

Background: Recent studies underscore that healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) HAIs affect rehabilitation outcomes and hospital length of stay (LOS) for severe acquired brain injury (sABI).

Objective: This study aimed to estimate HAI incidence in different sABI rehabilitation settings and determine risk factors and HAI impact on neuromotor and cognitive recovery.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective multicenter study in two semi-intensive units (SICUs), two high-specialty post-acute units (PAUs), and one long-term care (LTC) rehabilitation facility.

Prognostic validity of trunk control scales for mobility in individuals with motor complete thoracic SCI: a prospective cohort study.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To investigate the sensitivity to change and prognostic validity of Trunk Control Test (TCT) and Thoracic-Lumbar Control Scale (TLC) in terms of mobility in persons with motor complete thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI).

Setting: Participants were recruited at an Italian SCI rehabilitation facility from October 2015 to January 2020.
