Implication

Retrospective analysis identifies key factors affecting rehabilitation discharge in traumatic spinal cord injury patients, suggesting a prediction model.

Key Points

Significant factors influencing discharge to a rehabilitation facility include age, injury severity, and insurance type.
Among 14,597 patients, 6,220 were discharged to rehabilitation, with a prediction accuracy of 72.5% compared to home.
Multivariate logistic regression revealed essential variables such as blood pressure and drug screen results affecting discharge decisions.
Findings support the development of predictive models for rehabilitation disposition, highlighting the need for further research.
