Changing SCI Epidemiology
Examine how SCI incidence, causes and risk profiles have evolved over the past ten years across global and regional settings.
The Changing Epidemiology of Spinal Cord Injury: a focused half-day workshop exploring a decade of shifting risks and the implications for future SCI prevention.
Registration link coming soon View Workshop ObjectivesOver the past decade, the epidemiology of spinal cord injury has undergone important changes. Shifts in demographics, mobility patterns, advances in injury prevention strategies and survival after trauma have altered the distribution of injury mechanisms and risk profiles in many regions of the world. In particular, ageing populations and the growing contribution of fall-related injuries are transforming the landscape of SCI.
Through presentations and expert discussion, participants will review global and regional SCI trends, consider the social and demographic drivers of injury risk, and reflect on how these patterns may influence prevention priorities in the coming decade.
Examine how SCI incidence, causes and risk profiles have evolved over the past ten years across global and regional settings.
Explore demographic, societal and environmental factors reshaping spinal cord injury mechanisms and prevention priorities.
Consider how emerging epidemiological trends may influence research, prevention strategies, policy and future planning.
Registration details for this half-day pre-conference workshop will be added once the confirmed registration link is available.
