AB  - Objective: To carry out a study of non-traumatic spinal cord injury (NTSCI) 
      epidemiology in IrelandDesign: Prospective study of all new incident cases of 
      NTSCI during 2017Setting: Republic of IrelandParticipants: All persons with a 
      newly acquired NTSCIInterventions: NoneOutcome measures: Crude and age/sex 
      specific incidences; ISCoS core dataset and non-traumatic dataset; population 
      denominator was 2016 national census figures, adjusted to 2017.Results: Overall 
      crude incidence of NTSCI in the Republic of Ireland in 2017 was 26.9 per million 
      per year. Mean age at onset was 56.6 (SD 17.7) years. Females accounted for 51.2% 
      of cases. Most frequent grade of ASIA impairment scale (AIS) was AIS D. Most 
      common etiology was degenerate conditions (48.8%) followed by neoplastic (26.4%). 
      The most common pattern of onset (51.2%) was lengthy (greater than one 
      month).Conclusions: Incidence of NTSCI is more than double that for traumatic SCI 
      in the Republic of Ireland. This suggests that the delivery of rehabilitation 
      services to patients with spinal cord injuries requires prompt review and 
      expansion.
