THE AUTHORS RESPOND:
We thank Rathore et al for sharing their experiences. Many of their results correspond to ours. Differences in study population and duration explain their higher incidences of DVT and PU. Their study also addressed psychological complications, which ours did not. After comparing both studies, we reach the same conclusion: the medical community did its best to manage SCI in the presence of limited resources, but we need to develop a better system to manage such casualties in the future.
