The aim of COaT-SCI (Comparative Outcome and Treatment Evaluation in Spinal Cord Injury) is to conduct a long-term investigation of patients with primary traumatic, inflammatory, or tumor-related paraplegia. The course of their management and multimodality treatment concepts used in their routine care were registered systematically and compared with the clinical and sociomedical course of the disease. The period of observation extended from the acute phase to clinical control investigations during the patients’ lifelong care.
