International Standards to document Autonomic Function following SCI (ISAFSCI) weblink
This revised version of the ISAFSCI (Second Edition – 2021) provides a format for documenting the impact of SCI on ANS neural control of cardiovascular, thermal and sudomotor, bronchopulmonary, and sacral organ system function, which includes lower urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, and genitalia and reproductive organs.
The ISAFSCI, which is sometimes referred to as the Autonomic Standards, is recommended to be used in conjunction with the full International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI (ISNCSCI) following the initial injury, and to track the association between changes in ANS function correspondent with changes in the neurological level of injury (NLI) and completeness of injury as classified by the ASIA Injury Severity (AIS) scale. Additionally, the ISAFSCI should be used to track changes in autonomic functions following clinical intervention or during a clinical trial. In addition, a web-based training course is available online (https://asia-spinalinjury.org/learning/) to foster improved understanding regarding the impact of ANS impairment on organ system function and to guide use of the ISAFSCI.
