Objective: To assess the predictors of personal care assistance (PCA) use in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Follow-up of individuals crossing their 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, or 25th anniversary of injury who underwent their initial rehabilitation at a Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems center. Participants: A total of 2154 participants (2547 records) who met the inclusion criteria for the National Spinal Cord Injury Database and had valid values for the main outcome measures. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Daily hours of paid, unpaid, and occasional PCA services. Results: Differences in an interval version of the motor portion of the FIM(TM) instrument accounted for 26.3% of the variance in total PCA hours, Model Systems differences accounted for 9.3%, and no other predictor accounted for more than 2.1% of the variance. Conclusion: Activities of daily living functioning, as measured by the motor portion of the FIM, was the strongest predictor of PCA use among people with SCI.
