This study determined whether the Autonomic Dysfunction Following Spinal Cord Injury (ADFSCI) questionnaire, a measure of self-reported frequency and severity of symptoms during hypo- and hypertensive episodes, correlates with blood pressure (BP) instability. In addition, test-retest reliability of the ADFSCI questionnaire was assessed. ⋯ This study provides evidence that ABPM offers a strong clinical basis for documenting and understanding BP instability, such as AD, and related symptoms in individuals with SCI.
