Abstract
Objective. The analysis of main clinical and statistical characteristics of spine and spinal cord injury and of organizational system of casualty medical care.
Material and Methods. Cohort retrospective studies of archive data of medical and prophylactic institutions were performed in Arkhangelsk city and its region. Medical histories, calling book of territorial centre for emergency medicine, forensic medical examination protocols were analyzed. One hundred and twenty cases of spine and spinal cord injury were assessed.
Results. Incidence rate of spine and spinal cord injury amounts 0.48 cases per 10 000 people with the majority being in men, and in the age group of 20 to 39 years. Complete spinal cord injury occurred in 40.2 % of cases and incomplete – in 59.8 %, according to the ASIA/IMSOP scale. Mortality caused by spine and spinal cord injury was 0.07 and 0.09 cases per 10 000 people in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
Conclusion. The study revealed detailed clinical and statistical characteristics of spine and spinal cord injury in the region, exposed gaps in medical care organization and allowed accounting of bed quantity required to manage injured persons.
