Key Points

The aim is to understand the cardiometabolic profiles and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with spinal cord injury.
Analyzed clinical data from patients with spinal cord injury at admission
Assessed rates of cardiovascular disease risk and biochemical abnormalities
Evaluated the need for systematic CVD risk assessments
Patients with spinal cord injury showed high rates of cardiovascular disease risk factors
Significant biochemical abnormalities were identified at admission
A systematic approach for routine CVD risk assessment was highlighted as necessary

Abstract

Patients with SCI often present at admission with high rates of CVD risk and biochemical abnormalities. A more systematic approach with clear clinical guidance for routine CVD risk assessment at admission is required, alongside tailored early interventions.
