About this trial
The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of complications including PUs at time of admission to a regional spinal injury rehabilitation unit (MCSI), the relationship between wait time to admission for specialist SCI rehabilitation and complication n occurrence, neurological recovery, and length of stay. The hypothesis is that wait time to transfer from the acute hospital to the specialised SCI rehabilitation unit is associated with increased PU prevalence and other SCI complications, as well as poorer neurological recovery and increased length of stay.

Relationship between wait time to admission and complications
Descriptive statistics and hypothesis-testing methods will be used to analyse primary data. Central tendencies (arithmetic mean, median and frequencies) and measures of variability (standard deviation and interquartile ranges) will be obtained. To test the hypothesis of the difference in frequency (sex) and difference in arithmetic means (age), chi-squared test and t-test will be used respectively. Mann-Whitney U-test will be used to test the hypothesis of difference in wait time to transfer for specialist SCI rehabilitation. Multivariable linear and generalised linear regression will be undertaken to identify the potential predictors associated with complication risk, patient recovery and hospital stay from delayed admission to the MCSI rehabilitation centre.
