The severity of CSCI is classified according to the ASIA Impairment Scale developed by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA): A - Complete injury: no sensory or motor function preserved in the S4-S5 sacral segments. B - Incomplete injury: sensory function preserved below the neurological level and no motor function is preserved. C - Incomplete injury: motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and more than half of key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade less than 3. D - Incomplete injury: motor function is preserved below the neurological level, and at least half of key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade of 3 or more. E - Normal: sensory and motor function are normal.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Non-traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI). 2. Hospitalization for reexamination or other treatments (such as pressure sores, spasms, neuropathic pain). 3. Clear evidence of brain function impairment. 4. Incomplete medical records or unclear diagnosis. 5. Hospital stay <48 hours.
