TL;DR: The inclusion of environmental factors in models of disability was supported, but were found to be more strongly related to life satisfaction than to societal participation.

TL;DR: The PHQ-9 has promise as a tool with which to identify probable MDD in people with SCI and should be counted toward the diagnosis and should alert health care providers to the likelihood of MDD.

TL;DR: People with spinal cord injury face multiple barriers to physical fitness in functional, psychological, and architectural domains, and identification of these barriers can facilitate the participation of individuals with spinal Cord injury in an exercise program, improving long-term health and wellness.

TL;DR: Findings from this study document the low rate of mental health treatment for persons with SCI and probable major depression, and these findings have implications for improving the effectiveness of depression treatment in people withSCI.

TL;DR: 2 meta-analytical studies on SCI as well as several individual studies that focus on predictors and correlates of QOL applied to SCI are described, and a unique study on QOL after SCI using a qualitative methodology is discussed.

TL;DR: The PHQ-8 is a useful depression measure for population-based studies, and either its diagnostic algorithm or a cutpoint > or = 10 can be used for defining current depression.

TL;DR: In this article, the psychometric and pragmatic characteristics of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)-7 anxiety and PHQ-15 somatic symptom scales are synthesized from two sources: (1) four multisite cross-sectional studies (three conducted in primary care and one in obstetric-gynecology practices) comprising 9740 patients, and (2) key studies from the literature that have studied these scales.

TL;DR: This elaboration and explanation document is developed from a review of the literature to provide examples of adequate reporting in trials of nonpharmacologic treatments and should help to improve the reporting of RCTs performed in this field.
Abstract: Adequate reporting of randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) is necessary to allow accurate critical appraisal of the validity and applicability of the results. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) Statement, a 22-item checklist and flow diagram, is intended to address this problem by improving the reporting of RCTs. However, some specific issues that apply to trials of nonpharmacologic treatments (for example, surgery, technical interventions, devices, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and behavioral intervention) are not specifically addressed in the CONSORT Statement. Furthermore, considerable evidence suggests that the reporting of nonpharmacologic trials still needs improvement. Therefore, the CONSORT group developed an extension of the CONSORT Statement for trials assessing nonpharmacologic treatments. A consensus meeting of 33 experts was organized in Paris, France, in February 2006, to develop an extension of the CONSORT Statement for trials of nonpharmacologic treatments. The participants extended 11 items from the CONSORT Statement, added 1 item, and developed a modified flow diagram. To allow adequate understanding and implementation of the CONSORT extension, the CONSORT group developed this elaboration and explanation document from a review of the literature to provide examples of adequate reporting. This extension, in conjunction with the main CONSORT Statement and other CONSORT extensions, should help to improve the reporting of RCTs performed in this field.

TL;DR: A novel survey was performed in which subjects were asked to rank seven functions in order of importance to their quality of life, and regained arm and hand function was most important to quadriplegics, while regaining sexual function was the highest priority for paraplegics.
Abstract: In the United States alone, there are more than 200,000 individuals living with a chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). Healthcare for these individuals creates a significant economic burden for the country, not to mention the physiological, psychological, and social suffering these people endure everyday. Regaining partial function can lead to greater independence, thereby improving quality of life. To ascertain what functions are most important to the SCI population, in regard to enhancing quality of life, a novel survey was performed in which subjects were asked to rank seven functions in order of importance to their quality of life. The survey was distributed via email, postal mail, the internet, interview, and word of mouth to the SCI community at large. A total of 681 responses were completed. Regaining arm and hand function was most important to quadriplegics, while regaining sexual function was the highest priority for paraplegics. Improving bladder and bowel function was of shared importance to both injury groups. A longitudinal analysis revealed only slight differences between individuals injured 3 years. The majority of participants indicated that exercise was important to functional recovery, yet more than half either did not have access to exercise or did not have access to a trained therapist to oversee that exercise. In order to improve the relevance of research in this area, the concerns of the SCI population must be better known and taken into account. This approach is consistent with and emphasized by the new NIH roadmap to discovery.
