Case number in group 1, 2, and 3 was 11(10.48%), 45(42.85%), and 49(46.67%), respectively. Among the patients with spinal fractures, 52.1% had SCI. Bamboo spine was significantly more prevalent in the fracture group than in the nonfracture group (78.7% vs. 36.4%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006). Patients with SCI had more instances of subluxation or dislocation (48.3% vs. 8.9%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and more cases of spinal epidural hematoma (SEH; 21.7% vs. 2.2%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003) than patients without SCI. The rate of delayed diagnosis for spinal fracture was 31.4%, with one-third of patients developing delayed SCI. Among the patients with incomplete SCI, 58.3% achieved neurological improvement after treatment (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients with AS and bamboo spine at radiograph had a higher rate of spinal fracture, which may be an important factor in SCI in patients with AS. Spinal fractures involving the C3\u2013C7 region, subluxation or dislocation, severe spinal fracture, and SEH were found to be predictive of SCI, and SCI in patients with AS resulted in higher mortality and complication rates.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12873-022-00635-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]],"date-time":"2022-05-02T12:03:48Z","timestamp":1651493028000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Spinal cord injury and spinal fracture in patients with ankylosing spondylitis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Po-Hsun","family":"Tu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhuo-Hao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mun-Chun","family":"Yeap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Tse","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying-Ching","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yin-Cheng","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tzu-Min","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6816-3963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ching-Chang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"635_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"441","DOI":"10.1093\/rheumatology\/38.5.441","volume":"38","author":"SD Bot","year":"1999","unstructured":"Bot SD, Caspers M, Van Royen BJ, Toussaint HM, Kingma I.
