About this trial

The aim of this study was to epidemiologically evaluate patients diagnosed with spinal cord injury who were admitted to our clinic over the last five years and, unlike similar studies, to investigate the presence of complications in these patients. The investigators hope that this study will contribute to the literature by raising awareness of spinal cord injury epidemiology and potential complications.
