Abstract

(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2022;101:1282–1290) Spinal cord injury (SCI) has been shown to have little effect on fertility after the effects of acute injury have abated, but studies examining the effects of SCI on pregnancy and delivery in detail are lacking. Previous studies have shown that, in general, pregnancy outcomes remain positive, even though SCI increases the risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth because of lack of sensation and movement below the injury level. These previous studies have been limited by small sample sizes, single locations, and retrospective study design. This study aimed to examine the incidence of pregnancy in individuals with SCI, as well as pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes at a population level.
