Management of spinal trauma in pregnant patients: A systematic review of the literature.
Background: Despite the high incidence of spine trauma globally, traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) during pregnancy is considered a rare medical emergency. The literature on acute management of these patients is sparse compared with that of mothers with preexisting tSCI. This systematic review aims to evaluate management strategies for tSCI during pregnancy in improving neurologic, obstetric, and neonatal outcomes.
Methods: A systematic review of PubMed/MEDLINE was performed without language restriction from inception until November 2, 2023 for patients who acquired tSCI during pregnancy. Excluded articles described postpartum trauma, trauma before pregnancy, or SCI of nontraumatic etiology such as neoplastic, vascular, hemorrhagic, or ischemic origin. Primary outcomes investigated were maternal American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade, pregnancy termination, cesarean delivery, prematurity, and neonatal adverse events.
Results: Data from 73 patients were extracted from 43 articles from 1955 to 2023. The mothers' median age was 24 years (interquartile range, 23-30 years), and the average gestational age at the time of injury was 21.1 ± 7.7 weeks. The thoracic spine was the most common segment affected (41.1%) and had the greatest proportion of complete tSCI (46.6%). Furthermore, ASIA score improvement was observed in 17 patients with 3 patients experiencing a 2-score improvement and 1 patient experiencing a 3-score improvement. Among these patients, 86% of ASIA B and 100% of ASIA C patients showed neurologic improvement, compared to only 17% of ASIA A patients. Surgically managed patients had a lower rate of neonatal adverse events than conservatively managed patients (11% vs. 34%).
Conclusion: Acute tSCI requires a coordinated effort between a multidisciplinary team with careful consideration. While maternal neurologic improvement was observed more often following a better ASIA grade on presentation, the presence of neonatal adverse events was less common in patients treated with surgery than in patients who were managed conservatively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery® is designed to provide the scientific basis to optimize care of the severely injured and critically ill surgical patient. Thus, the Journal has a high priority for basic and translation research to fulfill this objectives. Additionally, the Journal is enthusiastic to publish randomized prospective clinical studies to establish care predicated on a mechanistic foundation. Finally, the Journal is seeking systematic reviews, guidelines and algorithms that incorporate the best evidence available.
