The spinal cord injury (TRM) is an important cause of mortality in Brazil. The PRO/PETHealth III, a Federal Government program developed at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, sought to identify the profile of TRM victims assisted in a large general teaching hospital in Belo Horizonte. A cross-sectional, descriptive study, with analysis of electronic medical records of patients admitted for TRM, was conducted to determine its epidemiological profile. The results revealed the age, length of stay, type of injury, trauma etiology, events registration, results of microbial cultures, and drugs used by these patients. It was possible to establish the relationship between the obtained data and those described in the literature and analyze the context of admission of these individuals, showing the importance of a multidisciplinary vision of the people affected by TRM. |
