Area of Science:

  • Traumatology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) affects approximately 300 Australians annually, incurring substantial long-term costs.
  • Current national care standards for TSCI are inconsistent, particularly in prehospital immobilization, surgical timing, and transfer protocols.
  • Variations in early care pathways impact patient outcomes and economic costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop expert-defined and agreed-upon standards of care for the early management of TSCI patients.
  • To achieve consensus on best practices across disciplines involved in acute TSCI care.
  • To inform the development of a national Clinical Pathway for TSCI management.

Main Methods:

  • A modified e-Delphi process involving Australian clinicians with TSCI expertise.
  • A rapid literature review (2005-2015) to identify evidence and existing guidelines.
  • Online anonymous surveys (2-3 rounds) and face-to-face interviews with key stakeholders, including patients.

Main Results:

  • Consensus will be sought on specific clinical early care areas for TSCI.
  • Evidence levels and areas of contention will guide survey development.
  • The study aims for agreement on consistent triage, treatment, transport, and definitive care standards.

Conclusions:

  • Agreed practice standards will serve as a benchmark for state and national policy.
  • Implementation of standardized care pathways is expected to optimize patient outcomes.
  • Standardization aims to address variations in early care, leading to improved patient outcomes and economic efficiencies.
