Comparative analysis and forecast of spinal cord injury burden in BRICS countries (1990–2021): insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
The burden of SCI in the BRICS countries is influenced by demographic, socioeconomic, and policy-related factors. Although ASRs have shown improvement, the absolute number of cases continues to grow. This trend necessitates tailored preventive strategies that address specific age, sex, and etiological factors, supported by enhanced international health cooperation, to mitigate the global burden of SCI.
