Abstract. The histories of 444 patients admitted to this spinal cord injury service were reviewed for the incidence of autonomic dysreftexia (A.D.). Forty-eight per cent of 21 3 patients with complete cord lesions at T6 or above exhibited A.D. The time of onset post-injury, exciting causes, unusual manifestations of attacks, and the persistence of the condition were studied. These findings and the experience with attempts at prevention by education and by the use of an alpha-adrenergic blocker and a non-adrenergic vaso dilating agent are reported.
The GR group had a greater improvement in Cobb angle and a greater increase in T1-S1 length than Shilla. The GR patients had more surgeries but Shilla patients had more unplanned procedures. The rate of complications overall did not differ significantly between groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
