Cervical cord injury (vs. no cervical cord injury)	5.4 (1.9–15.4)	17.8 (9.5–33.4)
Axial (vs. subaxial)	4.7 (1.5–14.7)	0.9 (0.5–1.8)
Age (1-y increase)	0.8 (0.8–0.9)	1.0 (0.9–1.0)
Substantial head injury	20.3 (7.3–56.4)	9.9 (4.7–21.0)
Substantial face injury	1.7 (0.4–8.3)	0.8 (0.2–3.7)
Substantial neck injury	16.6 (4.8–57.5)	4.1 (1.4–12.3)
Substantial torso injury	4.5 (1.4–14.3)	2.3 (0.9–5.8)
Substantial extremity injury	1.1 (0.3–4.0)	2.7 (1.1–6.5)

^a N = 464 after 68 SCIWORA patients and 8 patients with missing data about substantial comorbidities were excluded.
