摘要
This study examines, from an epidemiologic perspective, a series of 359 consecutive admissions to a Model Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center located in the south-eastern United States. An extensive data set which captures medical, demographic, social and psychological information, on each patient, has been statistically analysed. The appropriateness and utility of epidemiologic methodology applied to the phenomena of spinal cord injury is demonstrated and the findings resulting from the analyses are discussed. © 1979, Paraplegia.
