Abstract

The epidemiology of injuries to the spine and spinal cord (ISSC) in Saint Petersburg and its dynamics in 1994 to 1996 were studied. The incidence of ISSC in the city was 0.44 cases per 10,000 (0.64@1000 for males; 0.28@1000 for females). During the period analyzed, there were increases in the incidence of ISSC by 1.8 times and in the frequency of admissions by almost 2 times. An epidemiological survey of ISSC made it possible to propose some measures to improve the organization of medical aid to ISSC patients in Saint Petersburg.
