This scoping review aims to characterize nutrition outcomes and identify measurement approaches in spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D) research.
Applied a search strategy following JBI methodology across six databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central, Scopus, EMBASE, and PsycINFO.
Examined 195 studies focusing on nutrition outcomes, categorizing them using the Nutrition Care Process and Dietetic Outcomes Toolkit frameworks.
Reported findings following PRISMA-Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines.
Most studies (52%; n = 102) were from the United States, predominantly published between 2010-2020.
93% (n = 181) reported clinical and health status outcomes, focusing on body composition and biochemical markers like weight and BMI.
Only 10% (n = 20) reported nutrition knowledge or behaviors, and 11% (n = 22) addressed psychosocial factors.
