Takeaways – Clinical Needs of Women with Spinal Cord Injury

.

Health Maintenance Checklist

1. Cancer screenings (breast, cervical, colorectal, other) according to authoritative guidelines.
2. Immunizations according to authoritative guidelines. Consider influenza vaccine for most women with SCI; pneumococcal and shingles vaccines for women 60 years of age and older; and papillomavirus vaccine for girls and young women.

Lista de verificación de mantenimiento de la salud

1. Estudios de detección de cáncer (de mama, cervical, colorrectal, otras) de acuerdo con las pautas autorizadas.
2. Esquemas de vacunación de acuerdo con las pautas autorizadas. Considerar la posibilidad de la vacuna contra la influenza para la mayoría de las mujeres con LME; vacunas contra el neumococo y el herpes zóster para mujeres de 60 años o más; y vacuna contra el virus del papiloma para niñas y mujeres jóvenes.

 

Episodic Care Considerations

1. Reproductive health counseling for women with SCI should take into account relevant secondary medical complications
of SCI, including neurogenic bladder, neurogenic bowel, and autonomic dysreflexia.
2. Women with SCI may be at increased risk of developing SCI-related bone loss and/or cardiometabolic disease due to
impaired mobility and should receive individualized health maintenance counseling and diagnostic screening.
3. Routine preventive screenings for women with SCI should be performed in accordance with existing best practices for the general population with special consideration by providers for any specific physical accessibility needs when ordering diagnostic tests (e.g., mammography, colonoscopy).

Consideraciones de cuidado episódico

1. El asesoramiento sobre salud reproductiva para mujeres con LME debe tener en cuenta las complicaciones médicas secundarias relevantes de la LME, incluida la vejiga neurogénica, el intestino neurogénico y la disreflexia autonómica.
2. Las mujeres con LME pueden tener un mayor riesgo de desarrollar pérdida ósea relacionada con LME y / o enfermedad cardiometabólica debido a problemas de movilidad y deben recibir asesoramiento individualizado para el mantenimiento de la salud y exámenes de diagnóstico.
3. Estudios de detección preventivos como rutina para mujeres con LME deben realizarse de acuerdo con las mejores prácticas existentes para la población general, con especial consideración por parte de los profesionales para cualquier necesidad específica de accesibilidad física al solicitar pruebas de diagnóstico (por ejemplo, mamografía, colonoscopia).
