Background and Aims
Few large studies have examined the relationship between spinal cord injury (SCI) and lipid
profile. We studied serum lipid concentrations in subjects with traumatic SCI in relation to
the degree of neurological involvement and time since injury, and compared them with values
from a reference sample for the Spanish population (DRECE study).
Materials and Methods
A retrospective cohort was built from 177 consecutive cases with traumatic SCI admitted to
the SCI unit of the Miguel Servet Hospital in Aragon (Spain). Outcome measures (cholesterol,
triglycerides, HDL-c and LDL-c levels) were analyzed according to the ASIA Impairment
Scale (AIS), neurological level of injury (involvement of all limbs vs. only lower limbs), and
time since injury. All analyses were adjusted for age and sex.
Results
Cases without preserved motor function (AIS A or B) had lower total and HDL cholesterol
than the others (-11.4 [-21.5, -1.4] mg/dL total cholesterol and -5.1 [-8.8, -1.4] mg/dL HDL-c),
and cases with all-limb involvement had lower total, HDL, and LDL cholesterol than those
with only lower-limb involvement (-14.0 [-24.6, -3.4]mg/dL total cholesterol, -4.1 [-8.0, -0.2]
mg/dL HDL-c, and -10.0 [-19.7, -0.3]mg/dL LDL-c) (all p<0.05). No association was found
between lipid concentrations and time since injury. Concentrations of lipid subfractions and triglycerides
in SCI subjects were lower than in sex- and age-stratified values fromthe
reference sample
Conclusion
A high degree of neurological involvement in SCI (anatomically higher lesions and AIS A or
B) is associated with lower total cholesterol and HDL-c
