Admissions By Year

Because SCI is not a reportable condition, the true incidence is unknown. However, the annual incidence of SCI is estimated to be 30-40 per million of population. Based upon an estimated population of 6.580 million, there are 180-240 new spinal cord injuries each year in the Greater Delaware Valley (southeastern PA, southern NJ, and northern DE). The RSCICDV has served over 3,600 persons with new SCI during the past 26 years.
