“…Examining subgroups of studies that reported the prevalence in patients with GCS 3-12 and GCS less than or equal to 8 did not reduce the heterogeneity. However, four studies reported the prevalence of concomitant cervical spinal injury in patients with TBI or head injury injured in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) [2,15,21,41]. The I 2 statistic indicated that there was only moderate heterogeneity between these studies (I 2 = 51.44%; 95% CI 0.00-83.95%).…”

“…Eleven publications reported the prevalence of concomitant cervical spinal injury in patients with a TBI [2,12,15,21,27,28,30,33,34,37,41]. The total sample size including all studies reporting this prevalence is 573,870 patients, with sample sizes of individual studies ranging from 265 [37] to 334,864 [28].…”

“…Most included studies were single-centre studies reporting the prevalence of concomitant injury in admission to a single trauma centre within a set time-period [1,2,7,9,21,23,24,27,30,33,35,37,41,47]. All other studies included in this review reported the prevalence of concomitant injury from review of a multi-centre trauma database [6,12,15,16,19,28,34].…”

“…However, most studies did not specifically exclude paediatric patients [1,7,9,12,16,23,24,27,28,33,34,37,41,47] and included a limited number of paediatric patients in their analysis. These studies were only included if they took place in adult hospitals/trauma centres or reported the number of paediatric patients included to be minimal.…”

The biomechanical relationship between cranial and spinal structures makes concomitant injury likely. Concomitant craniospinal injuries are important to consider following trauma due to the serious consequences of a missed injury. The objective of this review was to estimate the prevalence of concomitant cranio-spinal injury in the adult trauma population. A systematic search of MEDLINE and EMBASE databases to identify observational studies reporting the prevalence of concomitant cranio-spinal injury in the general adult trauma population was conducted on 21 March 2017. The prevalence of concomitant cervical spinal injury in patients with a traumatic brain injury (TBI); the prevalence of concomitant spinal injury in patients with a TBI; the prevalence of concomitant TBI in patients with a cervical spinal injury; and the prevalence of concomitant TBI in patients with a spinal injury were calculated by meta-analysis. Twenty-one studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. The prevalence of concomitant cervical spinal injury in patients with a TBI was found to be 6.5% (95% CI 6.0-7.1%); the prevalence of concomitant spinal injury in patients with a TBI to be 12.4-12.5%; the prevalence of concomitant TBI in patients with a cervical spinal injury to be 40.4% (95% CI 33.0-48.0%); and the prevalence of concomitant TBI in patients with a spinal injury to be 32.5% (95% CI 10.8-59.3%). This review reports the prevalence of concomitant cranio-spinal injury and highlights the importance of considering concomitant injury in patients with a cranial or spinal traumatic injury.
