Most of the patients with spinal cord injury (86,2%) were males. The injuries were more frequent on the 3rd and 4th decades of life, mainly between 21 and 30 years old (33%). The main etiology of the spinal cord injury was by automobile accidents (30,3%), followed by fails from height (27,5%) and fire gun (23%). The more frequent complications were urinary tract infection (73,4%) and pressure ulcers (27,5%).
