City:  Philadelphia
State:  
PA
Zip Code: 19107
Conditions: Spinal Cord Injury
Purpose: The NACTN Registry is a network of clinical centers collecting standardized de-identified data from patients presenting with a new traumatic spinal cord injury(SCI). Information will be collected on the natural history of SCI and course of treatment through the first 12 months following the date of injury. Data collected includes imaging information from CT or MRI scans, neurological and general medical outcome and rehabilitation evaluation.
Study summary: The participating centers include: The Methodist Hospital, Houston; Northwestern University-Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago; University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston; University of Toronto, Toronto; University of Virginia, Charlottesville; University of Louisville, Louisville; University of Maryland, Baltimore The Biostatistics and Data Management Center is at: The University of Texas School of Public Health, Houston. Preliminary work has been completed on the selection of data elements, data collection protocols, case record form design, and the design of a computer system for clinical data management and data quality control. In the first phase of the network, data will be collected on the natural history of SCI. Although there is considerable data in the literature about the natural history of SCI, current changes in treatment appear to be modifying the natural history. In particular very early surgery, including decompression of the spinal cord and vertebral stabilization with instrumentation appears, in some cases of SCI, to be improving outcomes.
Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - Any patient male or female > or equal to 18 years of age with an initial traumatic spinal cord injury adn neurological deficit ( motor weakness/paralysis or loss of sensation). - Must give informed consent Exclusion Criteria: - Any patient/family refusing consent
