Abstract:

Objective To analyze the application of International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) in China.

Methods Researches 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.

Results A 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.

Conclusion The application of ISNCSCI in China should be improved in the standardization.
