Effects of Biological Sex on Access to Care and Outcomes After Acute Spinal Cord Injury
The results of this study suggest that biological sex does not significantly affect in-hospital mortality and neurologic recovery after tSCI when optimal care is applied, according to data from a Canadian registry. Those findings support the notion that sex equity in management strategies promotes equal outcomes after tSCI.
