Long‐Term Survival and Life Expectancy After Spinal Cord Injury in Salzburg, Austria: A Retrospective Population‐Based Study
SCI substantially reduces life expectancy, with younger individuals experiencing disproportionate relative mortality and older adults bearing the highest absolute risk. These findings highlight the need for tailored long-term strategies, including preventive measures for younger patients and comprehensive chronic disease management for older populations.
