Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study is to determine whether a health service system is an independent influencing factor of having pressure injury problems in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury living in three countries.
Design: This is a cross-sectional study.
Methods: Data from the International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey were analyzed. The pressure injury problems were assessed using the Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Condition Scales (dichotomized to "having problem" and "not having problem"). Health service systems were categorized as an inpatient-oriented spinal cord injury-specialized system and a primary care-oriented system. A directed acyclic graph was applied to create a multivariable logistic regression model to determine the independent influencing factors of pressure injury problems.
Results: Of 790 included participants, 277 (35%) had pressure injury problems. Being recruited from countries with inpatient-oriented spinal cord injury-specialized systems (model 1) and visiting rehabilitation medicine/spinal cord injury physicians at least once a year (model 2) is an independent negative correlating factor of pressure injury problems (odds ratio = 0.569 [95% confidence interval = 0.374-0.866] and 0.591 [95% confidence interval = 0.405-0.864], respectively).
Conclusions: Spinal cord injury-specialized health service systems might be a protective factor of pressure injury problems in middle-income country contexts. This result suggests the importance of having spinal cord injury-specialized services in middle-income countries to reduce the prevalence of pressure injury problems.

期刊介绍:
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
