Summary In this study, averaged cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) after sciatic nerve stimulation, and lower extremity muscle responses after motor cortex stimulation (MEP) were compared in rats. 10 animals served as light (25g-cm) and 10 animals as severe (80g-cm) acute spinal cord injury group after weight dropping trauma. After the initial loss of components, both SEP and MEP recovered in most cases in the light injury group. In the severe injury group, however, no recovery was observed in cortical SEPs, while the muscle MEP recovered in some animals. Light spinal cord injury had little effect on muscle MEPs and caused a paradoxical amplitude increase in some MEP recordings. Latency values of muscle MEPs did not show great changes after either kind of injury, while cortical SEP latency was considerably delayed.In this model cortical SEPs were more sensitive to light spinal cord injury than muscle MEPs after single electrical cortical stimuli. Severe spinal cord injury caused amplitude changes or loss of waves from both SEP and MEP.This work was partly presented in the poster sections at 39.

Background Context

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating condition with limited treatment options for neurologic or functional recovery. The ability to predict the prognosis of walking post injury with emerging prediction models could aid in rehabilitation strategies and reintegration into the community.

Purpose

To revalidate an existing clinical prediction model for independent ambulation (van Middendorp et al., 2011) using acute and long-term post-injury follow-up data, and to investigatethe accuracy of a simplified model using prospectively collected data from a Canadian multicenter SCI database, the Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry (RHSCIR).

Study Design

Prospective cohort study.

Participant Sample

The analysis cohort consisted of 278 adult individuals with traumatic SCI enrolled in the RHSCIR for whom complete neurologic examination data and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) outcome data were available.

Outcome Measures

The FIM locomotor score was used to assess independent walking ability (defined as modified or complete independence in walk or combined walk and wheelchair modality) at 1-year follow-up for each participant.

Methods

A logistic regression (LR) model based on age and four neurologic variables was applied to our cohort of 278 RHSCIR participants. Additionally, a simplified LR model was created. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to check if the predictive model is applicable to our data set. The performance of the model was verified by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The accuracy of the model was tested using a cross-validation technique. This study was supported by a grant from The Ottawa Hospital Academic Medical Organization ($50,000 over 2 years). The RHSCIR is sponsored by the Rick Hansen Institute and is supported by funding from Health Canada, Western Economic Diversification Canada, and the provincial governments of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario. ET and JP report receiving grants from the Rick Hansen Institute (approximately $60,000 and $30,000 per year, respectively). DMR reports receiving remuneration for consulting services provided to Palladian Health, LLC and Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc ($20,000-$30,000 annually), although neither relationship presents a potential conflict of interest with the submitted work. KEH received a grant for involvement in the present study from the Government of Canada as part of the Canada Summer Jobs Program ($3,000). JP reports receiving an educational grant from Medtronic Canada outside of the submitted work ($75,000 annually). TM reports receiving educational fellowship support from AO Spine, AO Trauma, and Medtronic; however, none of these relationships are financial in nature. All remaining authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose.

Results

The fitted prediction model generated 85% overall classification accuracy, 79% sensitivity, and 90% specificity. The prediction model was able to accurately classify independent walking ability (AUC 0.889, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.846–0.933, p<.001) compared with the existing prediction model, despite the use of a different outcome measure (FIM vs. Spinal Cord Independence Measure) to qualify walking ability. A simplified, three-variable LR model based on age and two neurologic variables had an overall classification accuracy of 84%, with 76% sensitivity and 90% specificity, demonstrating comparable accuracy with its five-variable prediction model counterpart. The AUC was 0.866 (95% CI 0.816–0.916, p<.01), only marginally less than that of the existing prediction model.

Conclusions

A simplified predictive model with similar accuracy to a more complex model for predicting independent walking was created, which improves utility in a clinical setting. Such models will allow clinicians to better predict the prognosis of ambulation in individuals who have sustained a traumatic SCI.  相似文献

Acute traumatic spinal cord injury is often a lifechanging and devastating event with considerable mortality and morbidity. Over half a million people suffer from traumatic spinal cord injury annually with the majority resulting from road traffic accidents or falls. The Individual, societal and economic costs are enormous. Initial recognition and treatment of acute traumatic spinal cord injury are crucial to limit secondary injury to the spinal cord and to provide patients with the best chance of some functional recovery. This article is an overview of the management of the acute traumatic spinal cord injury patient presenting to the emergency department. We review the initial assessment, criteria for imaging and clearing the spine, and evaluate the literature to determine the optimum timing of surgery and the role of non-surgical treatment in patients presenting with acute spinal cord injury.  相似文献

目的:分析脊髓损伤ASIA神经学分类标准(ASIA标准)在临床应用中存在的问题,探讨解决的方法。方法:收集2010年我院收治的341例脊髓损伤患者的临床资料,首先由中级职称医师统计入院时诊断记录、ASIA残损分级记录表和影像学资料,整理出残损分级、脊髓损伤平面和运动平面作为原始记录。再由高级职称医师组成的AISA标准专家组根据原始记录和病历对每例患者的残损分级、损伤平面和运动平面重新评估,得出审核后评定结果。比较审核前后的评定结果。结果:原始记录178例A级患者经审核后1例定为B级,2例定为C级;43例B级患者经审核后15例定为C级,1例定为A级;34例C级患者经审核后1例定为B级,1例定为D级;45例患者未分级。15例C级被误定为B级是由于原始记录者认为运动平面以下超过3个节段以远有少量运动功能的患者属于B级而非C级。1例B级和2例C级被误定为A级是因评定时仅依据ASIA残损伤分级记录表格中的信息而忽略了体格检查中直肠感觉存在和远端非关键肌运动功能保留的记录。A至B、B至C和D至C的级别误定各1例是因对记录表格中信息的归纳错误所致。原始记录中损伤平面:颈髓139例,胸髓145例,圆锥损伤21例,马尾综合征12例,7例未定平面,审核后均与原始记录一致;17例腰髓损伤经审核后只有1例为腰髓损伤,12例为圆锥综合征,4例为马尾综合征。对ASIA标准中腰髓损伤与圆锥综合征及马尾综合征损伤范围理解不清是将后两者误诊为腰髓损伤的主要原因。22例残损D级中央综合征病例中有18例在原始记录中将运动平面定为颈髓,但查体显示下肢关键肌肌力可达2~5级,是忽略运动平面意义造成的使用不当。结论:应用脊髓损伤ASIA标准时应详细、准确理解其内容,以减少对相同标准的不同理解而产生错误的评估结果。  相似文献

Objective: To compare outcome for patients with traumatic (TSCI) and non-traumatic spinal cord injuries (NTSCI) after primary rehabilitation regarding neurological improvement measured by the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS), length of stay and complications.

Design: Retrospective comparative cohort study on patients with TSCI and NTSCI, hospitalized during a ten-year period at Haukeland University Hospital, Norway. Impairment, length of stay and complications during first in-patient rehabilitation period were analyzed. Uni- and multivariate analysis was performed.

Setting: Spinal Cord Rehabilitation Unit, Haukeland University Hospital, Norway

Participants: A total of 174 persons with a spinal cord injury (SCI) were included; 102 with TSCI and 72 with NTSCI.

Outcome measures: Neurological improvement measured by AIS from admission to discharge, number of weeks in the hospital, frequency and significance of complications were compared.

Results: Improvement in AIS after primary rehabilitation did not differ between TSCI and NTSCI. Length of stay was in average 3.4 weeks longer for TSCI. Urinary tract infections and pressure ulcers significantly influenced length of stay in both groups. Urinary tract infections were more frequent in TSCI (67%) vs NTSCI (42%). Pressure ulcers were more frequent among NTSCI (24%) vs TSCI (14%). Pneumonia and neuropathic pain did not depend on etiology and did not influence length of stay.

Conclusions: Patients with SCI have a rehabilitation potential regardless of etiology. Complications are frequent in both groups and often prolong hospitalization. Complication patterns differ in the two groups, and specific prevention and optimal treatment will shorten and optimize the length of primary rehabilitation.  相似文献

Background Context

Emergent surgery for patients with a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is seen as the gold standard in acute management. However, optimal treatment for those with the clinical diagnosis of central cord syndrome (CCS) is less clear, and classic definitions of CCS do not identify a unique population of patients.

Purpose

The study aimed to test the authors' hypothesis that spine stability can identify a unique group of patients with regard to demographics, management, and outcomes, which classic CCS definitions do not.

Study Design/Setting

This is a prospective observational study.

Patient Sample

The sample included participants with cervical SCI included in a prospective Canadian registry.

Outcome Measures

The outcome measures were initial hospitalization length of stay, change in total motor score from admission to discharge, and in-hospital mortality.

Methods

Patients with cervical SCI from a prospective Canadian SCI registry were grouped into stable and unstable spine cohorts. Bivariate analyses were used to identify differences in demographic, injury, management, and outcomes. Multivariate analysis was used to better understand the impact of spine stability on motor score improvement. No conflicts of interest were identified.

Results

Compared with those with an unstable spine, patients with cervical SCI and a stable spine were older (58.8 vs. 44.1 years, p<.0001), more likely male (86.4% vs. 76.1%, p=.0059), and have more medical comorbidities. Patients with stable spine cervical SCI were more likely to have sustained their injury by a fall (67.4% vs. 34.9%, p<.0001), and have high cervical (C1–C4; 58.5% vs. 43.3%, p=.0009) and less severe neurologic injuries (ASIA Impairment Scale C or D; 81.3% vs. 47.5%, p<.0001). Those with stable spine injuries were less likely to have surgery (67.6% vs. 92.6%, p<.0001), had shorter in-hospital lengths of stay (median 84.0 vs. 100.5 days, p=.0062), and higher total motor score change (20.7 vs. 19.4 points, p=.0014). Multivariate modeling revealed that neurologic severity of injury and spine stability were significantly related to motor score improvement; patients with stable spine injuries had more motor score improvement.

Conclusions

We propose that classification of stable cervical SCI is more clinically relevant than classic CCS classification as this group was found to be unique with regard to demographics, neurologic injury, management, and outcome, whereas classic CCS classifications do not . This classification can be used to assess optimal management in patients where it is less clear if and when surgery should be performed.  相似文献
