摘要：
Study design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), who visited the Sarah Network in 2014. Setting: Brazil, Brasília-Federal District. Methods: A review of the electronic medical records of persons with SCI, aged over 15 years, was carried out. Results: The medical records of 2076 persons were evaluated: 83% were male, the mean age was 31 years, 40% did not complete elementary school, 67.7% had paraplegia, and 74.4% had complete SCI. The primary etiologies were gunshot wounds (28.4%), motorcycle accidents (24.6%), and motor vehicle accidents (19.1%). In the comparative analysis between genders, differences were observed regarding the level of education and completeness of injury. Conclusion: Gunshot wounds were the main cause of SCI in our population, comprising mostly male individuals with thoracic injury, resulting in complete SCI. Data show a high incidence of SCI in young adults owing to violence in Brazil. © 2018, International Spinal Cord Society.
