研究设计：一项以医院为基础的回顾性研究。目的：创伤性脊髓损伤(TSCI)被认为是全球范围内一个重要的公共卫生问题。在《中国》杂志上发表的关于脊髓灰质炎区域流行病学特征的研究较少。为了解东北黑龙江省TSCI的流行病学特征。单位：哈尔滨医科大学第二附属医院和哈尔滨市第五医院。方法：收集2009年1月至2013年12月收治的232例TSCI患者的病历资料。结果：TSCI患者的平均年龄为45.35岁+/-14.35岁。男女之比为4：1。TSCI的发病率随年龄增长逐渐升高，在46~60岁年龄组达到高峰。最常见的职业是农民工(35.34%)。机动车碰撞，其次是跌倒，被发现是TSCI的主要原因。此外，76.29%的TSCI患者存在颈椎损伤。结论：本研究揭示了TSCI在我省是一个不容忽视的问题。我们的结果为制定TSCI的综合防治方案提供了初步的证据和理论依据。
Study design: A retrospective hospital-based study.Objectives: Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is considered to be an important public health problem worldwide. Only a few studies concerning the regional epidemiological characteristics of TSCI have been published in China. The purpose is to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of TSCI in Heilongjiang province in northeast China.Setting: The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and the Fifth Hospital of Harbin City, Heilongjiang province.Methods: Information of 232 patients who suffered from TSCI was gathered from their charts between January 2009 and December 2013. Information on sociodemographic variables was collected from each chart, including the patient's age, sex, occupation, injury time, causes and extent of injury.Results: The average age of patients with TSCI was 45.35 +/- 14.35 years. The male/female ratio was 4: 1. The incidence of TSCI increased gradually with age and peaked in the 46-to 60-year-old age category. The most common occupation was farm laborer (35.34%). Motor vehicle collisions, followed by falls, were found to be the leading cause of TSCI. Furthermore, the majority of TSCI patients (76.29%) suffered a cervical injury.Conclusion: The present study reveals that TSCI is an issue in the province, and it should not be ignored. Our results provide preliminary evidence and theoretical basis for developing an integrated control program for TSCI.
