Australian Spinal Cord Injury Research Review, 2018-2025

271 eligible studies from a systematic search of Australian spinal cord injury research published between January 2018 and September 2025. The dataset, created by Linda Barclay and last updated in April 2026, includes categorizations of clinical and preclinical studies, research designs, and stakeholder engagement.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of clinical versus preclinical research based on the reported 86% clinical focus.
• Identify trends in research design based on the prevalence of cross-sectional, qualitative, or retrospective studies.
• Assess multi-center collaboration levels based on the reported high proportion of single-site clinical studies.
• Evaluate stakeholder engagement based on the count of publications involving people with lived experience.

Strengths

• 271 studies provide a defined scope for analysis.
• Systematic search methodology across five databases.
• Clear temporal coverage from January 2018 to September 2025.
• Includes specific counts for research categories and designs.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• Data is limited to 228.2 KB, indicating a small, aggregated summary rather than raw study data.
• Geographic scope is restricted to Australian research.
