ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the application of International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) in China. MethodsResearches using ISNCSCI in the spinal cord injury were retrieved from CNKI, from January 1st, 2020 to December 31st, 2022. The authors and the keywords of the included literatures were analyzed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to generate a collaboration network graph of authors and a theme distribution map of keywords. The objects, purposes, causes of spinal cord injury, distribution of researchers' departments, ISNCSCI version used, corresponding publication time and other information of the included studies were manual searched and analyzed. ResultsA total of 285 literatures were finally included, involving 1 279 authors, out of whom 111 published 97.19% of the total number of articles. The main keywords included spinal cord injury, spinal fractures, neurological function, thoracolumbar fractures and spinal tuberculosis, which classified in seven clusters, and the topics of spinal cord injury, efficacy, spinal fractures, quality of life and prognosis were the hotspots in the field. With manual searching, the main topic was spinal cord injury; the main object was traumatic spinal cord injury; the main purpose was to evaluate the surgical efficacy; the research institutions were mostly the comprehensive hospitals or specialized hospitals focusing on orthopedics (spinal surgery); the clinical departments that used ISNCSCI the most were orthopedics (including spinal surgery) and rehabilitation medicine, and nursing teams were paying more attention to ISNCSCI; the most commonly used versions of ISNCSCI were 2011 (7th edition) and 2000 (6th edition), however, for a large number of articles, the versions were not clear or earlier than 2000. ConclusionThe application of ISNCSCI in China should be improved in the standardization.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the modification of the 2019 International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) worksheet and the significance for clinical practice. Methods:The 2019 ISNCSCI worksheet (English version) was compared literally with the 2015 ISNCSCI worksheet (English version) to find the advantages of current version and analyze its significance. Results:Five modifications were found in the 2019 ISNCSCI worksheet, in which the muscle function grading, the sensory grading and how to determine the zone of partial preservation were modified. Conclusion:The ASIA International Standards Committee made prudent modification according to the experience of the 2015 ISNCSCI worksheet to make the worksheet more scientific and clearer for recording.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To study the modification of the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) worksheet (2013 version) and the significance for clinical practice. Methods The latest English version of ISNCSCI worksheet- 2013 was compared with the previous version to find the advantages of current version and analyze its significance according to the experience from using the worksheet-2011. Results 11 modifications were found in ISNCSCI-2013, in which some were just discrimination, some were for emphasis, and the others were detailing. Conclusion The ASIA International Standards Committee made prudent modifications according to the practical experience of the ISNCSCI-2011 to make the worksheet more scientific and clear for recording. The modification will be more beneficial to record and determine the evaluation results of neurological examination of spinal cord injury in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) in China. Methods A retrospective review was performed and the articles were identified in Chinese National Knowledge Infra-structure (CNKI), Wanfang data and CqVip data from January 2012 to January 2015. The articles were searched by words Spinal Cord Inju-ry, Paraplegia and Tetraplegia. Results The usage rate of ISNCSCI was 46.6%in domestic, and they were 60.7%, 47.8%and 35.3%in de-partments of rehabilitation, spinal surgery and orthopedics, respectively. Conclusion ISNCSCI is not widely used in spinal cord injury re-search in China, so it is important to raise the awareness and promote the use of ISNCSCI.

ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the application of Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ASIA) in China.MethodsThe articles were retrieved in CNKI website (www.cnki.net),full-text Chinese journal database using the following parameters:searching words:"spinal cord injury" and "ASIA",publication time:1979-2006.Results164 articles were harvested,and 140 relevant papers of them were selected for analysis.ConclusionASIA Classification is widely used in China(Mainland).Constructive suggestions for the modification of this Classification were accumulated,while delayed use and misuse of it were found in some studies.
