Mortality after spinal cord injury: a four-year prospective study.

Research has suggested that mortality after spinal cord injury (SCI) is correlated with lower levels of social and vocational activities and lower life satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to use prospective data from a 1985 SCI follow-up study to identify predictors of survival status four years later. In 1985, responses to the revised Life Situation Questionnaire were obtained from 347 participants with SCI.
