Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the risk factors for 6-month prognosis of traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 133 patients with TSCI who had been admitted to Department of Orthopaedics, The First Hospital Affiliated to Jinan University from January 2017 to August 2021. The patients with TSCI were categorized into an improved group ( n=82) and a non-improved group ( n=51) according to the improvements in the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grading between admission and 6 months after injury. To identify the risk factors that might affect the prognosis of TSCI patients at 6 months after injury, univariate and logistic regression analyses were conducted of indicators such as gender, age, length of MRI spinal cord signal change, maximum canal compromise (MCC), maximum spinal cord compression (MSCC), brain and spinal cord injury center(BASIC)score, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) within 3 days after injury, ASIA grading within 3 days after injury, mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 3 days after operation, and presence of complications. Results:The univariate analysis showed significant differences between the improved and non-improved groups in length of MRI spinal cord signal change, MCC, MSCC, BASIC, NLR within 3 days after injury, ASIA grading within 3 days after injury, MAP at 3 days after operation, and presence of complications (all P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that NLR ( OR=0.463, 95% CI: 0.287 to 0.748, P=0.002) and ASIA grading ( OR=11.684, 95% CI: 1.684 to 81.086, P=0.013) within 3 days after injury, as well as MAP at 3 days after operation ( OR=2.224, 95% CI: 1.306 to 3.787, P=0.003), were risk factors affecting the 6-month prognosis in TSCI patients. Conclusion:The NLR and ASIA grading within 3 days after injury, and MAP at 3 days after operation are risk factors that may affect the prognosis of TSCI patients at 6 months after injury.
