STUDY DESIGN: Mixed retrospective-prospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES: To determine 2-year survival following discharge from hospital after @entity1566 in Bangladesh. SETTING: Bangladesh. METHODS: Medical records were used to identify all @entity1 admitted in 2011 with a recent @entity1566 to the Centre for Rehabilitation of the Paralysed, a large Bangladeshi hospital that specialises in care of @entity1 with @entity1566 . @entity1 or their families were subsequently visited or contacted by telephone in 2014. Vital status and, where relevant, date and cause of @entity204 were determined by verbal autopsy. RESULTS: 350 of 371 @entity1 admitted with a recent @entity1566 in 2011 were discharged alive from hospital. All but eleven were accounted for two years after discharge (97% follow-up). Two-year survival was 87% (95% CI 83% to 90%). Two-year survival of those who were wheelchair-dependent was 81% (95% CI 76% to 86%). The most common cause of @entity204 was @entity295 due to pressure @entity1066 . CONCLUSION: In Bangladesh, approximately one in five @entity1 with @entity1566 who are wheelchair-dependent die within two years of discharge from hospital. Most @entity204 are due to @entity295 from potentially preventable pressure @entity1066 .Spinal Cord advance online publication, 16 June 2015; doi:10.1038/sc.2015.92.
