Abstract: Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the incidence of cholelithiasis and evaluate the risk factors for cholelithiasis in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: We analyzed 1,530 SCI patients (1,186 males and 344 females) from the China Rehabilitation Research Center (2010–2019) and compared patients with cholelithiasis (n = 289) and without cholelithiasis. The variables included age, gender, marital status, blood glucose level, motor function, and American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (AIS) score. Results: A total of 1530 patients with SCI, including 1186 males and 344 females, were included in this study. The prevalence of cholelithiasis was 18.89%.
