Clinical risk factors associated with the need for tracheostomy in traumatic cervical and high thoracic spinal cord injury

Our objective was to assess the association of completeness and level of spinal cord injury (SCI) with the need for tracheostomy and identify additional risk factors predictive of tracheostomy. This was a retrospective review of patients with SCI between January 2017 and December 2022. Patients with...

Zusammenfassung:Our objective was to assess the association of completeness and level of spinal cord injury (SCI) with the need for tracheostomy and identify additional risk factors predictive of tracheostomy. This was a retrospective review of patients with SCI between January 2017 and December 2022. Patients with complete SCI were roughly thirty-three times more likely to have a tracheostomy when compared to incomplete injury (82 ​% vs 12 ​%, p ​
