Electronic patient records, sourced from the database of the Scottish Intensive Care Society Audit Group (SICSAG), were analyzed retrospectively to identify patients who had suffered both a TBI and a concomitant spinal column\/cord injury.

Concomitant thoracolumbar spinal injuries (34\/85) were more common than cervical spine injuries (30\/85), with 21 patients sustaining both cervical and thoracolumbar injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Among the concomitant brain and spinal trauma, spinal cord injuries (SCI) were identified in 16\/85 patients (16\/560; 2.9%). Outcome assessment revealed 18\/85 mortality during index admission, while 36\/85 patients required further neurorehabilitation. Concomitant spinal injury was associated with more severe TBI, with 60\/85 patients having GCS\u2009\u2264\u20098, and poorer outcomes, with 20% of patients dying during admission.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Dichotomizing between cervical and thoracolumbar regions, more SCIs occurred in cervical (10\/85) than thoracolumbar (6\/85) trauma.
