Özet

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injuries result in critical pecuniary and/or non-pecuniary losses due to the developing neurological problems. The objective of this study was to evaluate spinal injuries in terms of clinical severity and prognosis. Spinal injuries lead to serious clinical results due to the high rates of morbidity and mortality; however, there is a lack of reliable information on spinal injuries in our country.
