The goal of this study was to provide recent data on incidence spinal cord injuries (SCI) in Germany.The source information collected via the mandatory submission ICD-10 GM Codes by German public hospitals after patient discharge. Data from 2013 2020 were retrieved databases Federal Bureau Statistics. for acute SCI identified. Statistical analysis performed using Jamovi and Excel.A total 10,360 patients reported, whom 58.7% suffered a cervical, 30.8% thoracic 10.4% lumbar lesion. Two peaks observed at approximately 30 70 years old. A population-size-adjusted overall 15.73 (SD 0.77) per million year calculated. We calculated incidences several subpopulations discovered significantly higher among males those over age 60. that differences groups mainly concerned upper spine, with spine being similar groups. In addition, we found while probability suffering increases age, relative risk complete injury decreases.This closes long-lasting gap epidemiological regarding Germany, specifically updating rates. depends gender type also some new angles future research, especially considering reduction elderly.

Abstract Objectives Data from radiological departments provide important information on overall quantities of medical care provided. With this study we used a comprehensive analysis examinations as surrogate marker to quantify the effect different COVID-19 waves Methods Radiological examination volumes during infection were compared among each other well time-matched control periods pre-pandemic years using locally weighted scatterplot smoothing negative binominal regression models. Results A total 1,321,119 analyzed. Examination reduced by about 10% over whole period (IRR = 0.90; 95% CI 0.89–0.92), with focus acute (0.84; 0.83–0.85) and outpatients (0.93: 0.90–0.97).

Background Injuries are among the leading causes for hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits. COVID-19 restrictions ensured safety to Canadians, but also negatively impacted health outcomes, including increasing rates of certain injuries. These differences in trends have been reported internationally however evidence is scattered needs be better understood identify opportunities public education prepare future outbreaks. Objective A scoping review was conducted synthesize regarding impact on unintentional injuries Canada, compared other countries. Methods Studies investigating all ages during from any country, published English between December 2019 July 2021, were included. Intentional and/or previous pandemics excluded. Four databases searched (MEDLINE, Embase, Web Science, SPORTDiscus), a gray literature search conducted. Results The yielded 3,041 results, 189 articles selected extraction. total 41 reports included search. Final studies research from: Europe ( n = 85); North America 44); Asia 32); Oceania 12); Africa 8); South 4); multi-country 4). Most higher occurrence injuries/trauma males, average age across 46 years. following mechanisms injury most frequently: motor vehicle collisions (MVCs; 134), falls 104), sports/recreation 65), non-motorized 31), occupational 24). occurring at home (e.g., gardening, improvement projects) increased, schools, workplaces, spaces decreased. Overall, decreases observed those resulting sport/recreation, pedestrian-related, crush/trap incidents. Decreases seen MVCs burns, severity these increased pandemic period. Increases poisonings, collisions, lacerations, drownings, trampoline injuries; and, foreign body ingestions.
