Abstract

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition with profound physical, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences. Despite advances in SCI treatment, accurately predicting functional recovery remains a significant challenge. Conventional prognostic methods often fall short in capturing the complex interplay of factors influencing SCI outcomes. There is an urgent demand for more precise and comprehensive prognostic tools that can guide clinical decision-making and improve patient care in SCI.
