The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of complications including PUs at time of admission to a regional spinal injury rehabilitation unit (MCSI), the relationship between wait time to admission for specialist SCI rehabilitation and complication n occurrence, neurological recovery, and length of stay. The hypothesis is that wait time to transfer from the acute hospital to the specialised SCI rehabilitation unit is associated with increased PU prevalence and other SCI complications, as well as poorer neurological recovery and increased length of stay.
