    Abstract Objectives: To determine whether attending an SCI-specialized rehabilitation facility (SSRF) is independently associated with having fewer secondary health conditions (SHCs) in middle-income country contexts.
    Study design: Cross-sectional observational study.
    Setting: Four rehabilitation facilities in Thailand (one SSRF and three non-SSRF).
    Methods: Data from a Thai arm of the International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey (InSCI) were analyzed. SHCs occurring within the last three months were evaluated using the Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Condition Scale. A causal diagram was applied to create a multivariable regression model to determine the independent effect of attending in the SSRF on having SHC as a single condition and as a sum score.
    Results: Three hundred and thirteen individuals with chronic SCI were included in this study. Two hundred and nineteen participants (70%) were recruited from the SSRF. Being recruited from the SSRF was an independent negative correlating factor of the SHC sum score with an unstandardized coefficient of -1.12 (95% CI: -2.00-0.24). Being recruited from the SSRF was also an independent negative correlating factor of having bladder dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and pressure ulcer SHC with an odds ratio of 0.32 (95% CI: 0.16-0.59), 0.43 (95% CI: 0.22-0.84), and 0.46 (95% CI: 0.24-0.89), respectively.
    Conclusion: Attending an SSRF was significantly associated with having fewer SHCs, specifically, bladder dysfunctions, sexual dysfunctions, and pressure ulcers. These results suggest the importance of having SSRF in middle-income countries for delivering effective care to people with SCI and standardized education to health care providers.

    Abstract Introduction: It is difficult to diagnose an acute abdomen condition in people with spinal cord injury due to abnormal sensation below the injured level and multiple co-morbidities. These issues can mislead the exact diagnosis and delay proper treatment.
    Case presentation: A 57-year-old male with C4 AIS C tetraplegia developed nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and feeding intolerance. Serum electrolytes indicated severe hyponatremia. A provisional diagnosis of pseudo-gut obstruction was made. After the failure of 48 h of conservative treatment with a nasogastric and rectal tube, abdominal CT was performed and revealed sigmoid volvulus.
    Conclusions: Due to the inconclusive clinical features and lack of subjective complaints, early use of CT scan or MRI is preferable in people with SCI who are suspected of an emergency intra-abdominal condition.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine whether a health service system is an independent influencing factor of having pressure injury (PI) problems in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) living in three countries.
    Design: A cross-sectional study.
    Methods: Data from the International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey (InSCI) were analyzed. The PI problems were assessed using the Spinal Cord Injury Secondary Condition Scales (dichotomized to "having problem" and "not having problem". Health service systems were categorized as an inpatient-oriented SCI specialized system and a primary care-oriented system. A directed acyclic graph was applied to create a multivariable logistic regression model to determine the independent influencing factors of PI problems.
    Results: Of 790 included participants, 277 (35%) had PI problems. Being recruited from countries with inpatient-oriented SCI specialized systems (Model 1) and visiting rehabilitation medicine/SCI physicians at least once a year (Model 2) is an independent negative correlating factor of PI problems (odds ratio = 0.569 [95%CI: 0.374-0.866] and 0.591 [95%CI: 0.405-0.864], respectively).
    Conclusion: SCI-specialized health service systems might be a protective factor of PI problems in middle-income country contexts. This result suggests the importance of having SCI-specialized services in middle-income countries to reduce the prevalence of PI problems.

    Abstract Study design: Case study.
    Objective: To present a framework for developing an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)-based documentation system in spinal cord injury (SCI)-specific rehabilitation.
    Setting: Data collection took place at Maharaj Hospital, Thailand. The preparatory studies and analysis were performed at Swiss Paraplegic Research, Switzerland.
    Methods: Data collected from interviews and health records of four SCI cases across the continuum of care (acute, post-acute, early and late long term) were linked to ICF categories using established ICF linking rules. The resulting categories were compared with selected ICF sets (ICF Generic-30, ICF core sets for SCI and multiple sclerosis) to determine the extent of coverage. Furthermore, the context of applicable services was described systematically.
    Results: Less than half of the ICF categories in the defined ICF sets were covered by clinical assessment tools. Low correspondence was found predominantly in acute and late long-term phase. Least well covered were categories of activities and participations and environmental factors. The correspondence of categories increased when considering the additional ICF categories identified from patient interviews. The description of rehabilitation services provided in each case classified according to the dimensions of service provider, funding, and service delivery.
    Conclusions: There is a need to promote the systematic and standardized assessment of functioning among health professionals working in the field of SCI in developing countries. This study describes basic steps toward developing a standardized ICF-based system for assessing and reporting functioning outcomes in SCI rehabilitation and across the continuum of care.

    Abstract During the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019, it is possible for rehabilitation physicians and personnel to take care of patients with concurrent spinal cord injury and coronavirus disease 2019. Here, we describe a case of acute cervical spinal cord injury resulting in complete tetraplegia C5 American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A with unrecognized, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This resulted in large-scale quarantines of related surgical and rehabilitation staff, and the unexpected death of the patient despite receiving the treatments according to the standard guideline. Rehabilitation personnel who take care of acute spinal cord injury patients with coronavirus disease 2019 should consider the effect of spinal cord injury on the course of coronavirus disease 2019, the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 and its treatments on the course of spinal cord injury, and risks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmission between patients and rehabilitation staff, to continue providing safe and effective rehabilitation programs.

    Abstract Background: The impact of bladder care and urinary complications on quality of life in persons with spinal cord injury who have neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction has not been elucidated, especially in those living in low-resource countries.
    Methods: This multinational cross-sectional survey was conducted in rehabilitation facilities in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Community-dwelling adults with traumatic or nontraumatic spinal cord injury participating in the International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey from 2017 to 2018 were enrolled. Data regarding bladder management/care, presence of bladder dysfunction, urinary tract infection, and quality of life score were extracted from the International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey questionnaire. The impact of bladder care and urinary complications on quality of life was determined using univariable and multivariable regression analysis.
    Results: Questionnaires from 770 adults were recruited for analysis. After adjusting for all demographic and spinal cord injury-related data, secondary conditions, as well as activity and participation factors, urinary tract infection was an independent negative predictive factor of quality of life score ( P = 0.007, unstandardized coefficients = -4.563, multivariable linear regression analysis, enter method).
    Conclusions: Among bladder care and urinary complication factors, urinary tract infection is the only factor negatively impacting quality of life. These results address the importance of proper bladder management and urinary tract infection prevention in persons with spinal cord injury to improve their quality of life.

    Abstract Study design: Cross-sectional study.
    Objectives: This study aimed to explore and report on health care and rehabilitation service utilization, rehabilitation service benefits, and levels of satisfaction of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) living in communities in Thailand.
    Setting: Four rehabilitation facilities in Thailand, two university hospitals (Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital in Chiang Mai Province and Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok), one large provincial hospital (Ratchaburi Hospital in Ratchaburi Province), and one national rehabilitation institute (Sirindhorn National Medical Rehabilitation Institute in Nonthaburi Province).
    Methods: This study was part of the International Spinal Cord Injury Community Survey (InSCI). Individuals with SCI completed a set of questionnaires, then data related to their health care and rehabilitation services were extracted and analyzed.
    Results: Of the 320 participants, most were male (71%), and the majority were living with paraplegia (73%). In cases of mild illnesses where hospitalization was not required, 46% went to a nearby health service hospital. In cases of serious illnesses where hospitalization was required, 39% went to a higher-level hospital. The majority (80%) were satisfied with their experience with health care services. The three top preferred products and services in descending order were wheelchairs and cushions, increased disability pension, medication and medical equipment including bladder relaxants, urinary catheters and urine bags.
    Conclusions: Individuals with SCI living in communities in Thailand preferred treatment at a nearby district hospital for mild illnesses with one-third transferring to a higher-level hospital for serious illnesses. The majority were satisfied with the health care services and rehabilitation services.
