    A new database links spinal cord injuries (SCI) to pressure ulcer locations. Sacral ulcers are common with higher SCI levels (C4-T1), while ischial ulcers are more frequent with lower SCI levels (T11-L1).

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Wound Care

    Background:

    • Pressure ulcers are a significant concern for patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI).
    • Existing literature provides a foundation for understanding pressure ulcer development.
    • A standardized method for collecting patient data is needed to identify correlations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computerized database for collecting pressure ulcer patient information.
    • To investigate correlations between the level of spinal cord injury and the location of pressure ulcers.
    • To identify potential differences from prior research requiring further investigation.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review to inform database development.
    • Development and piloting of a computerized data collection tool.

  • Data collection from 103 patients across two hospitals using standardized measures.

    • Main Results:

    • Established correlations between specific spinal cord injury levels and pressure ulcer locations.
    • Sacral ulcers were more prevalent in patients with SCI at C4-T1.
    • Ischial ulcers were more common in patients with SCI at T11-L1.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed database effectively facilitated the correlation of SCI level and pressure ulcer location.
    • Findings suggest specific SCI levels are associated with distinct pressure ulcer prevalence.
    • Further research with larger, multi-institutional datasets is warranted to validate these correlations.
