Epidemiological profile of people with spinal cord injury in Ecuador: A population-based design and cohort profile
This study presents the first national epidemiological profile of SCI in Ecuador, showing that injuries predominantly affect young individuals, primarily due to traffic accidents. The findings highlight areas for intervention and provide valuable insights into data collection and rehabilitation strategies for future research.
