Mortality in spinal cord injuries. Follow-up report.
The principal cause among 137 deaths in a series of 1,613 patients with traumatic spinal cord lesions treated at Veterans Administration Hospital, Long Beach, was renal disease attributable to the paralysis of the bladder and bladder sphincter and resultant genito-urinary tract infections. The second ranking cause was pulmonary disease. Before 1960 no deaths from cancer had occurred in this series, but between 1960 and 1962 three patients died of carcinoma of the bladder. It can be expected that as these patients reach higher age groups the incidence of neoplasms will increase.
