Abstract:
It is becoming a necessity to predict the outcome of spinal cord injured patients, because their prognosis has greatly improved in recent years. The assessment of rehabilitation should be done with methodology to avoid selection bias and confounding factors, and to choose criteria for measuring outcome. Some simple rules are proposed in order to correctly use major statistical models.
