After spinal cord injury (SCI), the type of post-discharge rehabilitation used can affect recovery. Researchers analyzed data from 2012-2016 and found that factors like age, gender, insurance (Medicare), psychiatric diagnosis, injury severity, and Glasgow Coma Score influenced the likelihood of being discharged to non-home facilities. Interestingly, uninsured patients were less likely to use additional healthcare facilities for recovery after surgical SCI treatment, possibly due to high costs. This suggests that economic barriers can impact the choice of rehabilitation services for SCI patients.
