Collection of information on spinal column injury is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with spinal cord lesions. The purpose of the Spinal Column Injury Basic Data Set for spinal cord injury individuals is to standardize the collection and reporting of a minimal amount of information on the spinal column injury in daily practice. By studying and using the International Spinal Cord Injury Spinal Column Injury Basic Data Set, it is helpful to standardize and unify the collection of information on spinal column injury of patients with spinal cord injury in our country and afford evidence to the relevant treatments. The process used to develop the International Spinal Cord Injury Spinal Column Injury Basic Data Set, a description of the data elements and examples of cases illustrating how the data is coded is described in this paper.
