Implication

This prospective observational study identifies key prognostic factors affecting recovery in CSM patients, suggesting timely intervention may enhance outcomes.

Key Points

Better surgical outcomes in cervical spondylotic myelopathy are linked to age under 40 and short symptom duration.
Younger age, lower Nurick grade, and larger canal diameter were strongly associated with improved postoperative recovery.
This observational study assessed clinical outcomes using established scales and radiological measurements from 85 patients.
Identifying key prognostic factors may significantly enhance treatment protocols for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
