CONTEXT: Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), a lethal condition of which patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at risk, is under-identified in these patient populations. Research literature is limited on AD-related educational resources provided to patients with SCI. OBJECTIVE: The American Medical Association and National Institutes of Health recommend healthcare material be written in a sixth- to eighth-grade reading level for patients. In this study, the authors compared the readability of AD-related materials provided to patients with SCI through Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)-accredited websites versus those obtained via Google search. METHODS: Online, free materials were obtained from CARF-accredited institutions. These data were compared with top Google search results for the term "autonomic dysreflexia." Materials were assessed using 4 different validated readability scales. The average reading grade level was recorded for each readability index between the two groups. RESULTS: For CARF-accredited institutions ( CONCLUSION: Online information provided to patients with SCI on AD through CARF-accredited institutions is two- to four-reading grade levels higher than recommended. Efforts should be made to modify the readability of CARF-accredited and non-academic website materials to improve patient education.
