Infact, fallscurrently accountforapproximately65%of allSCIs occurringin people aged ≥ 65 years (22,23) and 76% of SCIs in people aged > 75 years (www.nscisc.uab.edu/Public_Pages/LeadingCauses). Utilizing the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code,theaccidentalfallsarefurtherclassifiedinto19types.AmongSCIsinthe elderly(olderthan60 years)reportedtotheNSCIDduring2005 to2014,falls onthesamelevel(30%)werethemostcommonmechanismofaccidentalfalls, followed by falls from stairs and steps (22%) and other slipping/tripping/stumbling,suchasfallsfromoroffthetoiletandintheshower oremptybathtub (11%)(31,32).By contrast,among youngerindividuals,falls from a building (21%), ladder (8%), or tree (7%) were the most common mechanisms of accidental falls; about 39% of these falls were work-related. Similarage-specificpatternsassociatedwith the types of accidentalfalls were alsonotedinthestudyofadultemergencyvisitsforacuteSCIbetween2007and 2009(21).
ThereportedSCIetiologyprofileacrossdifferentagegroupsisafunctionof thefrequencyofparticipationineachactivityaswellastheriskofSCIforeach activity. For example, a smaller percentage of sports-related SCIs occurring among the elderly does not necessarily suggest that participation in sports is saferforthisagegroupthanforothers.Rather,itislikelybecauseparticipation insportsdeclinessubstantiallywithadvancingage.
Sex-SpecificRiskandCauseofInjury MalesexperienceahigherriskofSCIthanfemales(Figure4.1).Whenallages areconsidered,the maleto femaleincidencerateratiois about4.0 to1(Table
4.1).ThesexdifferenceintheSCIriskismuchsmalleramongyoungchildren
and the elderly (aged ≥75 years), with a male to female incidence rate ratio usually below 2.0 (3,11,21–23,28). The higher incidence rate in males is presumablyrelatedtotheincreasedrisk-takingbehaviortheyexhibitafterearly childhood.Forexample,astheygrowintoadulthood,malesmaybemorelikely thantheirfemalecounterpartsaretoparticipateinactsofviolenceand contact sportsaswellastoown/driveacar.AsreportedbytheNationalSCIStatistical Center’s web-based query tool on the leading causes of SCI, the major sex differencessince2015lieintheproportion(malevs.female)offirearminjuries (14.9% vs. 4.9%), motorcyclecrashes (8.3% vs. 3.1%), and recreational sport mishaps(8.9%vs.5.7%).
Race/Ethnicity-SpecificRiskandCauseofInjury TheSCIincidenceratesarehigherforblacksthanforwhites,especiallyamong males and for violence-related SCI. The black to white incidence rate ratio rangesfrom1.4to2.0overall(9,11,12,15,18,19,23)butfrom6.3to17.8foran SCI resulting from violence (6,9,11,12). Since 2015, firearm injuries have accounted for 39.4% and 29.0% of total SCIs among non-Hispanic black and Hispanicmales,respectively,butonlyaccountedfor1.9%ofSCIsamongwhite males enrolled in the NSCID (www.nscisc.uab.edu/Public_Pages/LeadingCauses).
OtherRiskFactors Approximately22%to50%ofnewpatientswithSCIreportusingalcoholortest positive for blood alcohol at the time of injury (3,9,11–15,27,33). The associationwithalcoholconsumptionisparticularlycommonamonginjuriesin Native Americans, occurring between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., pedestrian injuries, andcervicalinjuries(11,14,33).
MoreSCIsoccuronweekendsthanonanyotherday(9,21,30),particularly thoseinjuriescausedbydivingincidentsandmotorcyclecrashes(ofwhich57% and50%,respectively,occuronSaturdayandSunday)(30).Theexceptionisfor SCIsresultingfrommedical/surgicalcomplications,alargerpercentageofwhich occuronMonday(20%)andTuesday(31%)thanonSaturday(6%)andSunday (5%), which might be largely due to the scheduling of more procedures on MondaysandTuesdaysthanonotherdays.
TheincidenceofSCIalsoincreasesduringthewarmweathermonths,with fewerSCIsinFebruary(6.3%),followedbyasteadyincreaseuntilJuly(10.9%) andthenasteadydeclineuntilthenextFebruaryintheUnitedStates(9,30).This seasonal variation seems to parallel the increase of motorcycle- and diving­relatedSCIsoccurringinthewarmermonths.
LevelandCompletenessofInjury
The NSCID classifies the preserved neurologic function of people with SCI according to the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (34). As shown in Table 4.2, at time of discharge from inpatient rehabilitation between 2015 and 2017,a cervical level of injury was most common (C1–C4, 32.8% and C5–C8, 26.1%), followed by thoracic (32.2%)and lumbosacrallevels(8.2%). Themost commonneurologicallevels
were C4 (19.9%) and C5 (13.7%), followed by C6 (6.3%), C3 (6.0%), T4 (4.4%),T10(4.3%),C7(3.9%),T12(3.9%),andL1(3.9%)(Figure4.2).
Among the same 2015 to 2017 injury cohort, about 31.8% had neurologically complete injuries (American Spinal Injury Association ImpairmentScale[AIS]A),11.9%hadincompleteinjurieswithsensorysparing (AIS B), 16.7% had incomplete injuries with nonfunctional motorcapabilities belowthe lesionlevel(AIS C), 38.9%had incomplete injurieswith functional motor capabilities below the lesion level (AIS D), and 0.8% had essentially complete neurologic recovery (AIS E). The most frequent combination was incomplete tetraplegia (47.2%), followed by incomplete paraplegia (20.4%), completeparaplegia(20.2%),andcompletetetraplegia(11.5%;Table4.2).
Thestudyofthe NationwideEmergencyDepartment Sampleduring 2007– 2009definedthelevelofinjury (cervical,thoracic, lumbosacral,multisite, and other/unspecified) and complete versus incomplete injuries by the ICD-9-CM code and reported a trend similar to that in the NSCID, with predominantly cervical(57.4%)andincomplete(89.0%)injuries(21).
External causes of injury have a meaningful role in determining the preservedneurologicfunction(9,29,30,35).Among peoplewithfirearm-related SCIreportedtotheNSCIDandthecomparableNationalShrinersSCIDatabase (36) during 2005 to 2011, 71.6% had paraplegia and 63.6% had complete injuries(30). By contrast, 96.4%ofdiving-related SCIs resulted in tetraplegia and72.7%resultedinmotorcompleteinjuries(41.8%AISAand30.9%AISB injuries). Another study of fall-induced SCI among people enrolled in the NSCID between 2005 and 2014 noted that high falls, such as falls from buildings and ladders, were likely to result in thoracic (~47%) and complete (~42%)injuries,whereaslowfalls,suchasfallsonthesamelevelorstairs,were commonlyassociatedwithcervical(~88%)andAISD(~60%)injury(32)

TrendsandCurrentProfileofAcuteSCI
BasedonthedatafromtheNationwideInpatientSample,Jainetal.reportedthat the overall incidence rate of SCI remained relatively consistent from 1993 to 2012, at approximately 54 cases per million population (22). Age-specific incidence rates, however, varied over this period, with increased rates for the olderagegroupsanddecreasedratesfortheyoungeragegroups,whichapplied tobothmalesandfemales(Figure4.3).Asimilarage-specifictrendissupported byestimatesderivedfromtheNationwideEmergencyDepartmentSample(21–
28)anddatafromtheSouthCarolinaSCISurveillanceRegistry(23).Jainetal.
alsoreported thatthe meanage atinjuryincreasedfrom40.5 yearsin 1993to
50.5 years in 2012, while the percentage of females increased slightly from
26.5%to29.3%overthistimeframe(22).
Becauseof the hospital-based (not population-based)nature,theNSCID is notappropriateforstudyingSCIincidenceratesorrisks.Nevertheless,because of its longevity and standardized prospective data collection, the NSCID provides important insight into the relative contribution of personal characteristics to the occurrence of SCI since the early 1970s that no other studieshavebeenabletoattain.
TheprofilesofacuteSCIreportedhereareprimarilybasedondatafromthe NSCIDand largelyreflect thechangesin thegeneralpopulation intheUnited States(e.g.,advancingageandincreasingracial/ethnicdiversity).Changesinthe
age-,sex-,andrace-specificSCIincidenceratesoverthelastfivedecadescould also affect the demographic composition of new SCI cases over time. These trends could also be attributable to periodic changes in the identities and locations of participating SCI Model Systems Centers, changes in referral patterns to SCI Model Systems Centers, and changes in eligibilitycriteria for inclusionintheNSCID.
AgeatInjury AsgiveninTable 4.3,the averageage atinjury hasincreasedfrom28.7years duringthe1970sto43.0yearsduring2015to2017,whichisyoungerthanwhat wasreportedintheincidencestudybyJainetal.(50.5years).Theageatinjury might has been overestimated in this latter study because of the potential countingofreadmissionsofpeoplewithchronicSCIandexclusionofchildren younger than 16 years. The age difference could also be attributed to the NSCID’s over-representation of violent etiologies and eligibility criteria that potentiallyexcludeolder patientswithfalletiologiesand minimalneurological deficitswhoneverreceivedrehabilitation.
AsshowninFigure4.4,thedistributionofageattimeofinjuryforpersons enrolled in the NSCID has changed substantially over the last five decades. Although people aged 16–30 years are still the most common age group, the percentagesdropped from 62.0% in the 1970s to 34.3%during2015–2017 of totalSCIcasesreportedtotheNSCID.
ThepercentageofnewSCIcasesaged≥65yearsalsoincreasedfrom3.1% duringthe1970sto15.6%during2015to2017(Table4.3),whilethepercentage of people aged ≥65 years in the general population increased from 9.8% to
15.2%over the same period. The currentaverageageat injury (43.0 years) is about5years older than the median age of the U.S. population in 2016 (37.9 years).BothfindingssuggestafasteragingofnewSCIcasesthanofthegeneral U.S. population over the last five decades, a concept supported by the trends towardincreasingSCIincidenceintheoldergroupsanddecliningincidencein theyoungergroups,asshownearlierinFigure4.3(22).
FIGURE4.3 Annualincidence rate ofSCI(per million)byage and calendar year (1993 vs. 2012) in males and females based on the NationwideInpatientSample.

Thereisatrendtowardincreasingageatinjuryforbothsexesandallraces, withthe greatestincreasein ageat injury inwhite females,followedby white males,Hispanicfemales,blackfemales,Hispanicmales,andblackmales(35). Thegradualincreaseinageatinjuryisalsoobservedwithinalletiologygroups exceptactsofviolence.
Sex AccordingtodatafromtheNSCID,amongtheSCIpopulation,thepercentageof females increased from 18.2% in the 1970s to 22.0% in 2015 to 2017 (Table
4.3),an upward trend similar to that reported by Jain et al. (21). This finding
reflectsafasterincreaseinthenumberofwomenthanmenwhoareaged≥75 yearsinthe general population and an increase of injuriesamongolderadults overall,aswellasasmallerdifferenceinSCI riskbetween malesand females amongtheelderlythanamongteenagersandyoungadults.
RaceandEthnicity Inlinewiththecontinuedgrowthofminoritypopulations,especiallyHispanics, in the United States, the NSCID also observes an increasing percentage of HispanicethnicityintheSCIpopulationoverthelastfivedecades,from6.0%to
12.8%(Table4.3).Thisfindinghighlightstheneedforstaffdiversificationand culturalcompetencytrainingtoavoidracialbiasinhealthcareandhealth(37).
FIGURE 4.4 Age of persons enrolled in the NSCID at the time of injuryduring1972–1979andduring2015–2017.

OtherDemographicCharacteristics Thepercentageofpeoplewithabachelor’sorhigherdegreeatthetimeofinjury hasincreasedfrom 7.0% to 24.6% over the last five decades (Table4.3). The increasededucation levelis noted inall agegroupsstarting at16years ofage (35).Willthisincreasingtrendineducation attimeofinjuryleadtoimproved post-injuryemploymentandotheroutcomes?(38)Itdeservesfurtherstudy.
With increasing age at injury, the percentage of people who were retired (2.6%vs.14.2%),married(31.9%vs. 39.1%),divorced orwidowed (9.4%vs.
12.9%)increased,whilethepercentageofpeoplewhoweresingle/nevermarried decreased(54.0%vs.46.0%)overthelastfivedecades(Table4.3).However,the percentageofsingle/nevermarriedincreasedwithineachagegroup(16–30,31– 45, and 46–60 years) over the last five decades (35), which parallels the decreasingmarriagerateinthegeneralpopulationintheUnitedStates.Asthe marriage rate is usually lower in the SCI population than in the general population, and marriage is associated with favorable psychosocial outcomes (39,40),itis importantto knowwhetherthelowermarriage rateat thetimeof injurywilladverselyaffectthemarriagerateandoverallqualityoflifeafterSCI.
InjuryEtiologyTrends ThepercentageofSCIsduetomotorvehicularcrasheshasdeclined(Table4.2),
while the percentage of injuries due to falls has increased steadily over time, particularlyamongthoseolderthan45years(35).ThepercentageofSCIsdueto violence peaked in the 1990s (24.8%) but has since declined (13.8% during 2015–2017).Sports-relatedSCIsdeclinedfrom14.4%duringthe1970sto8.2% during2015to2017.Amongthoseaged46to60years,however,thepercentage ofSCIsasaresultofsports-relatedactivitiesincreasedfrom2.2%inthe1970s to 7.2% during 2010 to 2014, which is consistent with the observation of increasing age for sports-related SCI, from 21.1 yearsto34.3 years, over this timeframe(35).
Diving mishaps account for the largest subgroup (41.3%) among the 499 peoplewithsports-relatedSCIreportedtotheNSCID from2010to2017(41). Snowskiingrankedsecondat10.8%, followedbyother wintersports(suchas sledding, snow tubing, tobogganing, ice hockey, and snowboarding) at 7.6%, surfing at 7.0%, horseback riding at 4.6%, air sports at 3.8%, and football at
3.0%.SincetheinitiationoftheNSCIDintheearly1970s,SCIsduetodiving, football, and trampoline mishaps have declined markedly, while those due to snowskiing,wintersports,andsurfinghaveincreased.Thedeclineoffootball­related SCIs is, in large part, as a result of a rule change made in 1976 that banneddeliberateuseofthehelmetastheinitialpointofcontactintacklingor blocking. Similarly, removal of trampolines from schools in some states has undoubtedlycontributedtothedeclineintrampoline-relatedSCIs.
Itisimportant to keep in mind that those recreationalsportsactivitiesthat accountforthemostSCIsarenotnecessarilythemostriskyactivities.Toassess risk,wemustknowtheunderlyingrateofexposuretothatactivity.Forexample, gymnasticscausesfewSCIs(1.6%)butalsohasfewparticipants,whereashigh school and college football cause more SCIs (3.0%) but also have more participants.
The proportional nature of these statistics can only reflect the relative importanceofthecontributionoftheseexternalfactorstothecausationofSCI, butmightnotrepresentunderlyingchangesinthecause-specificincidenceover time.Forexample,therecentdeclineinthepercentageofnewSCIcasescaused byvehicularcrashes couldbe duetoadecreaseintheunderlying incidenceof vehicular-relatedSCI.Thepercentageofvehicular-relatedSCIswouldalsodrop if the underlying incidence rate rises but at a slower rate than that of other causes. However, provided that the statistics are interpreted with some understanding of how the data have been collected and analyzed, the trends reportedherearerelevanttoserviceproviders,policymakers,andresearchers.
