- * Healthcare professionals (HCPs) often lack the necessary confidence and specific knowledge about SCI to effectively support these mothers.
- * An international panel developed a resource based on research and surveys to provide evidence-based recommendations for various HCPs to better support breastfeeding for mothers with SCI.
Study Design: Narrative review.
Objectives: To evaluate the availability and quality of breastfeeding guidelines for women with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Setting: International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Department of Medicine, Vancouver, BC.
Background: Little is known about the use of antibiotics and the extent of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) in patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs).
Aims: To record the use of antibiotics, establish the prevalence of AAD and Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), and assess if there was any seasonal variation in antibiotic use and incidence of AAD in patients with SCIs.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in six European SCI centres between October 2014 and June 2015.
