Curated, limited dataset of de-identified spinal cord injury, functional independence, and quality of life measures in patients from the TRACK-SCI study

STUDY PURPOSE: We assessed the extent to which initial injury severity, functional independence, and health-related quality of life (QoL) predict overall QoL in adults during their first year of recovery following a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). DATA COLLECTED: Data were collected from two level-I trauma centers and outpatient follow-up care as part of the longitudinal, prospective, and multicenter Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in SCI (TRACK-SCI) study. Participants included adults (N=115) with traumatic SCI presenting acutely within 24 hours of injury. Outcome measures include: the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Version III, 11 short-form questionnaires from the QoL in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QoL) measurement system, and the International SCI QoL Basic Data Set. A total of N=81 subjects were included in analysis of follow up data. DATA USAGE NOTES:
