BACKGROUND: @entity1566 ( @entity1566 ) imposes a significant burden on the social and marital life. Here, we assessed the divorce rate and changes in marital status among a sample of Iranian individuals with @entity1566 . METHODS: Referred @entity1 to Brain and @entity1566 Research Center were invited to participate in this cross-sectional investigation. The Main exclusion criteria were @entity1545 , history of @entity102 before @entity1566 and substance use. Demographic characteristics (including age, gender, educational level, marital status before and after injury and duration of marriage) and Injury characteristics (level of the injury, American @entity3510 association (ASIA) scale and Spinal cord independence measure III (SCIM)) were collected. RESULTS: Total of 241 subjects with @entity1566 participated in this investigation (164 (68%) male and 77 (32%) female). Among @entity1 , 16.5% [95% CI: 10.81%-22.18%] and among @entity1 18.2% [95% CI: 9.58%-26.81%] got divorced after injury. Duration of marriage before injury was significantly related to lower divorce rate (P< 0.001 and 0.016 in @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively). Injury characteristics had no relationship with marital longevity. Age was a protective factor against marital dissolution only in @entity1 (P< 0.004). CONCLUSION: Our study revealed the divorce rate of 17% [95% CI: 13%-20.9%] after @entity1566 in a sample of Iranian population. The protective influence of age in maintenance of marriage was only detected in @entity1 , which proposes existence of a sexual polymorphism in the role of age. Divorce rate was similar between two genders and injury characteristics were not related to divorce rate as well.
