Demographics
Publications have combined data from the Shriners Hospitals for Children and the NSCID. As in adults, males are four times more likely to have SCI than females overall, with the ratio being 1.5:1 in children under age 9 years.
In children under 3 years, females have outnumbered males in some studies. In younger children, there are no statistically significant racial trends. In those over age 15, there is an increased risk in African American and Hispanic American populations. These figures are all from specialized hospital data and may not represent those with milder injuries (eg, incomplete lesions and paraplegia) who are treated in smaller hospitals or in adult settings. Since the year 2000, the racial make-up for SCI treated in the Model Systems has been 63.0% white, 22.7% black, 6% Hispanic, and 2.4% other racial groups (1).
