SPINAL CORD , 2006, vol. 44, n° 2, p. 106-112 Doc n°: 123955 Localisation : Centre de Réadaptation de Lay St Christophe , en ligne Descripteurs : AE21 - ORIGINE TRAUMATIQUE Url : http://www.nature.com/sc/archive/index.html A total of 19 countries in Europe. Objectives: Firstly, to collect information about incidence and systems of care for pediatric spinal cord injury (pedSCI) ; including prevention, initial care and follow-up in a subset of European countries. Secondly, to initiate a network of involved professionals for exchange of information and development of research and care programs. Methods: A short semi-structured questionnaire was sent to respondents working with spinal cord injury (SCI) in 19 countries in Europe. Results: Only in Portugal and Sweden, is the incidence of pedSCI ( fatal injuries included) established, that is 27 children/million children/year and 4.6 children/million children/year, respectively. For the other countries, the estimated incidence of pedSCI (nonfatal injuries) varied from 0.9 to 21.2 children/million children/year in the age group of 0 - 14 years. Although the incidence varies considerably, pedSCI is rare throughout Europe. Langue : ANGLAIS |
