    Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a globally prevalent neurological condition, often resulting in motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions that lead to permanent disability. However, outdated epidemiological data hinder the development and implementation of effective public health policies. This study aimed to examine and compare trends in the burden of spinal cord injury—specifically incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLD)—in China and worldwide from 1990 to 2021, and to project these trends over the next fifteen years.
