Development of a Systems Medicine Approach to Spinal Cord Injury

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2023 • September 1, 2023

Acute SCI is a critically dysregulated dynamic multi-system condition characterized by multiple interacting molecular and physiologic modules, some supporting recovery and others producing chronic mul...

KEY FINDING: Acute injury outcome predictors, including blood and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, neuroimaging signal changes, and autonomic system abnormalities, often do not predict chronic SCI syndrome phenotypes.
