Background: Most studies focus on the risk factors associated with the development of pressure ulcers (PUs) during acute phase or community care for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Objectives: This study aimed to i) compare clinical and demographic characteristics of inpatients after SCI with PUs acquired during rehabilitation vs inpatients without PUs and ii) evaluate an existing PU risk assessment tool iii) identify first PU predictors.
Methods: Individuals (n = 1,135) admitted between 2008 and 2022 to a rehabilitation institution within 60 days after SCI were included.
Background: Cognitively impaired neurological rehabilitation inpatients are at an increased risk for falls; yet, little is known regarding fall risk of different groups, such as stroke versus traumatic brain injury.
Objectives: To determine if rehabilitation patients' fall characteristics differ for patients with stroke versus patients with traumatic brain injury.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study evaluates inpatients with stroke or traumatic brain injury admitted to a rehabilitation center in Barcelona, Spain, between 2005 and 2021.
Objectives: To (1) determine fall characteristics (eg, cause, location, witnesses) of inpatients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and whether they were different for ambulatory persons vs wheelchair users; (2) visualize the total number of daily falls per clock-hour for different inpatients' features (eg, cause of injury, age); (3) compare clinical and demographic characteristics of inpatients who experienced a first fall event vs inpatients who did not experience such event; and (4) identify first fall event predictors.
Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.
Setting: Institution for inpatient neurologic rehabilitation.
