STUDY DESIGN: Systematic review. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to systematically review the literature for pediatric cases of @entity1566 without radiologic abnormality (SCIWORA) to investigate any possible relationship between initial @entity16 and eventual neurologic status. SETTING: A university department of orthopedics. METHODS: Following the preferred reporting items for systemic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for systematic review, the databases of PubMed and OvidSP were electronically searched for articles that use individuals under 18 years old, have @entity130 resulting in @entity1566 and have no @entity174 or @entity3029 on radiographs. When available, the @entity1 ' age, sex, @entity130 and spinal cord level were recorded. Individuals with @entity130 , who had specific information on cervical level and @entity130 , were recorded as well. @entity1 who reported specific magnetic resonance imaging findings and the time from the injury were also reported. When possible, the American @entity3510 @entity73 ( @entity73 ) was determined initially after the injury and then at last follow-up. RESULTS: A total of 433 pediatric @entity1 were identified with SCIWORA. The most prevalent @entity130 was sports-related injury cases (39.83%) followed by fall (24.18%) and motor vehicle-related (23.18%) injuries. The mean improvement recorded for all @entity1 was 0.89 @entity73 grades. CONCLUSION: The most common @entity130 was sports-related and @entity130 , which occurred more frequently than other levels. Initial @entity73 grade A showed poorer outcomes in the pediatric population compared with the adult population. Initial presentation of D showed the highest likelihood of no permanent @entity16 ( @entity73 of E).Spinal Cord advance online publication, 14 July 2015; doi:10.1038/sc.2015.110.
