The SwiSCI medical record study is the first study providing reliable epidemiological data on SCI in Switzerland. The study is operationalized at five Swiss paraplegic centers in Nottwil, Basel, Sion, Balgrist and Geneva.
The SwiSCI community survey is instrumental to the establishment of an epidemiological database for SCI that provides reliable data for the comprehensive study of functioning, disability and health. The survey data contribute to the evaluation of rehabilitation or policy interventions, and build an evidence-base to inform Swiss social and health policy with regards to SCI.
The inception cohort study is running since May 2013 and includes persons with SCI at an early stage after onset of injury.
