Abstract
Objective: Characterize victims of spinal cord injury (SCI) associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and risk factors. Methods: Study conducted with 52 victims of SCI associated with TBI. The variables studied were: sex; age; marital status; occupation; educational level; religion; etiology and the lesion area; neurological condition by the ASIA scale; associated injuries and potential risk factors. Results: The male (85%), aged between 21-30 years (25%), civil status stable union (56%), low level of education (69%) and the Roman Catholic religion (77%) presented the greater number of victims. Motor vehicle accidents (58%) were the main etiology. The cervical segment had higher injury risk (RR=3.48, p<0.0001). The neurological status ASIA-E (52%), the syndromic neck pain (35%) and the rate of mild TBI (65%) were the most frequent. Complications occurred in 13 patients with increased frequency of pneumonia (62%). The length of hospital stay was significantly higher (20±28 days) and 17% of patients died. Men (RR=2.14, p=0.028) and individuals exposed to motor vehicle accidents (RR=1.91, p=0.022) showed a higher risk of these lesions concurrently. Moreover, these patients had 2.48 (p<0.01) higher risk of death than victims of SCI alone. Conclusion: The SCI associated with TBI was more frequent in men, young adults, and individuals exposed to motor vehicle accidents. The cervical spine is more likely to be affected. Furthermore, the length of hospitalization is significantly higher and the subjects analyzed have higher risk of death.
