276ACUTE READMISSION RATES DURING NONTRAUMATIC SPINAL CORD INJURY REHABILITATIONDuring inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) after a non-traumatic spinal cord injury (NT-SCI), we sought to determine the frequency of and reasons for readmissions to acute care (RTAC). Using the risk factors identified, develop a prediction model for RTAC. retrospective method. Place of study: Academic IPR facility. Individuals with NT-SCI were enrolled in an academic SCI rehabilitation unit. Acute care readmissions following IPR. 39 episodes of RTAC were experienced by 37 participants (20%). Of the 35 participants, 35 experienced one episode, and 2 experienced two episodes. A majority of RTAC cases were caused by infections (27%), neurological disorders (27%), and noninfectious respiratory disorders (16%). The model was developed using multivariable logistic regression. A paraplegic was more likely to develop RTAC by 3.2 times (P?=?0.03). The odds of RTAC decreased by 5% for every unit increase in FIM-Motor (P = 0.03), and the odds declined by 61% for RTAC less than 30 (P?=?0.004). Findings: The presence of RTACs was associated with higher body mass index, a decreased FIMMotor score on admission, and paraplegia. Patients with these parameters should be treated by physiatrists with greater caution to prevent the presence of problems that necessitate acute care transferPurnachandra@gmail.comResearch822018 Patients Readmitted After Spinal Cord InjuryDr. Purnachandra Rao,Dr.Nagendea Reddy Assistant Professor, Department of Orthopedic, Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Pondicherry, Assistant Professor, Department of Orthopedic, Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences, Pondicherry
