Article Synopsis
- A workshop took place in Liverpool for two days to talk about research on disorders caused by autoantibodies.
- Twenty-two speakers and 14 participants shared knowledge and discussed future plans related to these disorders.
- They talked about experiments using rodents to study how autoantibodies affect symptoms and discussed possible treatments to reduce these antibodies.
The aim of this study was to determine whether early surgical treatment results in better neurological recovery 12 months after injury than late surgical treatment in patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Patients with tSCI requiring surgical spinal decompression presenting to 17 centres in Europe were recruited. Depending on the timing of decompression, patients were divided into early (≤ 12 hours after injury) and late (> 12 hours and < 14 days after injury) groups.

All observational and experimental studies with any length of follow-up and no limitations on language or publication status published up to March 2015 were included. Two review authors independently selected trials for inclusion and extracted data.
