Associations Between Diurnal Timing of Spinal Cord Injury and Its Etiology and Co-Morbidities. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - Circadian rhythms affect the timing of strokes, but this study investigates similar effects in spinal cord injuries by analyzing records of 759 patients from the NACTN registry without major demographic differences across injury times.
  • - Significant peaks in injury occurrences were found related to falls and sports accidents, with specific patterns linked to times of day, as well as comorbid factors like diabetes and drug abuse influencing injury timing.
  • - Although the injury timing did not significantly change overall severity scores, injuries occurring between midnight and 6:00 AM resulted in worse motor scores, indicating the need for more research to confirm these findings and understand the mechanisms involved.

Article Abstract

Circadian rhythms play a role in time-of-day differences in risk, presenting severity and outcomes of stroke. Injury time-of-day effects, however, on occurrence, presenting severity and acute hospital outcomes have not been yet reported in patients with neurotrauma. Therefore, acute post-spinal cord injury hospitalization records of 759 patients from the prospective NACTN registry that contained information about the time of injury were analyzed. No major demographic differences were observed between groups with time of injury between 6:00-12:00, 12:00-18:00, 18:00-24:00, or 0:00-6:00. Two etiological factors including falls or sports/recreation-related accidents showed significant effects of time of injury with peaks in the 6:00-12:00 or 18:00-24:00 groups, respectively. History of diabetes or drug abuse was also significantly related to injury timing peaking in 6:00-12:00 or 18:00-24:00 groups, respectively. ASIA score-determined presenting severity during the first week post-injury was not significantly affected by timing of injury. Pairwise comparisons, however, revealed worse motor but not sensory ASIA scores after injuries at 24:00-6:00 than any other group. These data suggest diurnal modulation of spinal cord injury risk because of specific mechanisms such as falls or sports-related accidents. Moreover, some co-morbidities may interact with those injury mechanisms as exemplified by the established risk elevation of falls in those with diabetes mellitus. Finally, while diurnal timing of the injury may modulate presenting severity, more patient records are needed to verify those effects.
