Taking risk to heart: An evaluation of cardiometabolic risk and screening guideline adherence in outpatients with spinal cord injury
The prevalence of CMD risk factors in outpatients with SCI/D was high. While approximately two of every five outpatients had established CMD, adherence to screening guidelines was poor. These findings reinforce the need for strategies to improve screening and reduce preventable harm from CMD in this vulnerable population.
