Our multimodal treatment concept was found to have complication rates comparable to those in the literature; additionally, this approach might be associated with lower recurrence rates with respect to the literature. To reduce high rates of pneumonia occurrence among patients with tetraplegia, preventive measures need to be established. Further evidence of the efficiency of this complex treatment approach for PU in individuals with SCI is needed.
