Abstract

Descriptive and analytic epidemiology of traumatic spinal cord injury (Traumatic-SCI) in Spain, with a sample of 33% of all incidental cases between 1984 and 1985, underlining the traffic accidents as the origin of those lesions. OR was obtained next of different variables of T-SCI, after controlling possible confusing factors through logistic regression and taking as "control group" Non Traumatic-SCI. OR in Traumatic-SCI decreases with age and in females. These Traumatic-SCI produce especially "cervical" lesions (OR = 3) and "complete" (OR = 4) with higher dependence on second persons. In the rest of variables there are no significative differences.
