“…Only one study has documented the incidence rates of TSCI by anatomical location, revealing rates of cervical injuries at 9.24 per million, thoracic injuries at 4.85 per million, and lumbar injuries at 1.64 per million [ 26 ]. Another study solely reported the incidence rate of cervical spinal injuries as 13.1 (95% CI, 11.4–14.9) per million [ 27 ].…”

“…Therefore, the development of prevention strategies and intervention measures must take into account these gender differences to specifically reduce the incidence of TSCI. Moreover, only two studies have found that the risk of injury to the cervical spinal cord is significantly higher than that of the thoracic or lumbar regions [ 26 , 27 ]. Among patients with TSCI, cervical injuries constitute the largest proportion (47.14%).…”

Background This study employs systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the incidence and characteristics of spinal cord injury (SCI) between 2000 and 2021, aiming to provide the most recent and comprehensive data support for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care of SCI. Methods Systematic searches were conducted on epidemiological studies of SCI published between January 1, 2000, and March 29, 2024. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, meta-regression, publication bias detection, and literature quality assessment were extensively utilized. Results The pooled results from 229 studies indicated that the overall incidence rate of SCI was 23.77 (95% CI, 21.50–26.15) per million people, with traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI) at a rate of 26.48 (95% CI, 24.15–28.93) per million people, and non-traumatic spinal cord injuries (NTSCI) at a rate of 17.93 (95% CI, 13.30-23.26) per million people. The incidence of TSCI exhibited a marked age-related increase and was significantly higher in community settings compared to hospital and database sources. Males experienced TSCI at a rate 3.2 times higher than females. Between 2000 and 2021, the incidence of TSCI remained consistently high, between 20 and 45 per million people, whereas NTSCI incidence has seen a steady rise since 2007, stabilizing at a high rate of 25–35 per million people. Additionally, the incidence of TSCI in developing countries was notably higher than that in developed countries. There were significant differences in the causes of injury, severity, injury segments, gender, and age distribution among the TSCI and NTSCI populations, but the proportion of male patients was much higher than that of female patients. Moreover, study quality, country type, and SCI type contributed to the heterogeneity in the meta-analysis. Conclusions The incidence rates of different types of SCI remain high, and the demographic distribution of SCI patients is changing, indicating a serious disease burden on healthcare systems and affected populations. These findings underscore the necessity of adopting targeted preventive, therapeutic, and rehabilitative measures based on the incidence and characteristics of SCI.

“…A hospital-based study by Lee et al 26) in 2022 described the number of TSCI cases over the past 30 years by decade, with 688 cases in 1990−1999, 1394 cases in 2000−2009, and 1313 cases in 2010−2019. A population-based study by Bae et al 1) in 2023 analyzed workers' compensation insurance data and found that the average TSCI incidence was 22.8 per 1 million people injured in occupational accidents in 2010−2019. Our population-based study published in 2023 reported that the incidence of TSCI in 2018 was 38.14 per million based on NHIS data, 11.57 per million based on automobile insurance data, and 28.92 per million based on workers’ compensation insurance data.…”

This review describes the incidence rates and trends of traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI) and non-traumatic spinal cord injuries (NTSCI) in South Korea. The incidence of NTSCI has increased more rapidly than that of TSCI in recent years. In 2007, TSCI was more common, but by 2020, NTSCI had surpassed TSCI, particularly in older individuals. While men have a higher incidence of both TSCI and NTSCI, the incidence difference by sex is greater in TSCI. The incidence rates of both TSCI and NTSCI are higher in older individuals, particularly those in their 70s and 80s. For TSCI, falls and traffic accidents are the most common causes, with falls being more prevalent in older adults. Cervical SCIs are the most common TSCI, especially in high-income countries like South Korea. Patients with NTSCI predominantly display paraplegia, which is usually associated with non-traumatic causes such as degenerative disorders and tumors. Higher rates of tetraplegia and paraplegia are observed with TSCI and NTSCI, respectively. The neurological levels of injury also differ between TSCI and NTSCI. Overall, SCIs are a growing concern in South Korea and there is a need for targeted interventions for their management and prevention, especially in older age groups.
