Temporal trend of in-hospital mortality and outcomes. The SCI paralysis group showed a fluctuating trend in the risk of in-hospital mortality and urinary tract infection; however, this was still greater than that of the without paralysis and stroke paralysis groups. (A) The in-hospital mortality in the SCI paralysis group (11.43% in 2003, 13.95% in 2006, and 9.49% in 2015). (B) In the SCI paralysis group, the cardiogenic shock rate (2.86% and 16.79% in 2003 and 2015, respectively) increased over time and was greater than that in the group without paralysis and the group with stroke paralysis. (C) In the SCI paralysis group, the acute renal injury rate steadily increased (0% and 28.47% in 2003 and 2015, respectively) and was higher than the rates in the without-paralysis and stroke-paralysis groups. (D) In the SCI paralysis group, the urinary tract infection rate had a fluctuating trend (14.29% in 2003, 29.27% in 2008, and 11.68% in 2015).
