Primary Objectives
• To estimate the incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury in the
Italian regions in the period October 1, 2013 September 30, 2014;
• To describe the pathways of care of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients
from the acute to rehabilitation phase and from hospital to primary
care services in order to improve the quality of care;
• To define the cost of hospital care for SCI patients
• To perform a cost-effectiveness analysis between different model of
care

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
Background
•
•
•
•
•
•
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is one of the most significant causes of mortality and
disability in the world. The reported incidence varies in a range from 15 to 45
cases per million.
In Italy the incidence of SCI is approximately 18-20 per million inhab./year;
Results of the Italian survey of SCI on rehabilitation services (37) found 1014
new cases in two years (GISEM);
The most common causes of SCI are motor vehicle accidents, falls, violence
and sports injuries.
Outcomes are strongly influenced by the surgical and pharmacological
treatment in the acute phase, the place of medical care, the relative length of
stay (LOS) in hospital and the availability of services.
In US, costs for medical care and intensive rehabilitations are extraordinarily
high.

70.000 people with Spinal Cord Injury in Italy
1 aprile 2011. Ogni anno diventano para e tetraplegiche circa duemila cittadini,
due terzi dei quali under 60. Ma a fronte di una domanda di ricoveri intorno ai
2.000-2.500 casi, l'offerta sanitaria è scarsa. A Roma il convegno "Disabilità: ora
serve una rete sanitaria e sociale che sappia prendersi cura delle persone con
lesione midollare"
ROMA - In Italia sono circa 70mila le persone con esiti di lesione al midollo
spinale di cui i 2/3 hanno una età inferiore ai 60 anni. Ogni anno diventano para
e tetraplegiche nel nostro paese circa 1.500 -2.000 persone (almeno
quattro/cinque al giorno), con un'età per i 2/3 inferiore ai 60 anni. Ma a fronte di
una domanda di ricoveri, sia in fase acuta che in fase di secondo ricovero, che
si aggira sui 2.000-2.500, l'offerta sanitaria rimane scarsa, con circa 400-500
posti letto qualificati sull'intero territorio nazionale.

Spinal Cord Injury Incidence Study
To estimate the Incidence
• Incidence data are very important both in tracing the occurrence of
SCI and in deciding on SCI prevention strategies. In this way,
epidemiologic data are essential to plan clinical and community
services for individuals with traumatic SCI, whose post injury survival
has increased conspicuously in recent years.
• The incidence rate is the number of new cases of cord injury per
person-time ;
Spinal Cord Injury Incidence Study
• Recruitment of Acute and Rehabilitations Units in Italy
for SCI patients (the study network);
– Spinal Surgery Units ;
– ICU;
– Spinal Cord Units and Rehabilitation Unit ;
• Study Protocol and the Data Collection Forms;
• Use of information systems: National data base of
hospital discharges ; trauma registries ect .
