The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted healthcare utilization; however, research has not investigated the impact in the spinal cord injury/dysfunction (SCI/D) population in Canada. To examine healthcare utilization and delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic in individuals with SCI/D. A repeated-cross sectional retrospective longitudinal cohort study design was conducted using health administrative database in Ontario, Canada. In 5,754 individuals with SCI/D, healthcare utilization and delivery (in-person, and virtual) were determined at the 1) pre-pandemic (March 2015 to February 2020), 2) initial pandemic onset (March 2020-May 2020), and 3) pandemic (June 2020 to March 2022) phases. Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) modelling were conducted to determine pandemic impact on monthly healthcare utilization and delivery. The initial pandemic onset period had a significant reduction of 24% in physician (p=0.0081), 35% in specialist (p<0.0001), and 30% in urologist (p<0.0001) visits, compared to pre-pandemic levels, with a partial recovery as the pandemic progressed.
