Variable analysis
- Surgical approach (anterior or posterior cervical)
- Neurophysiological study outcomes at t0 (before surgery), t1 (6 months after surgery), and t2 (12 months after surgery)
- Age (all patients were over 18 years old)
- Surgical indication (all patients had a decompressive surgery indication according to the surgical team criteria)
- Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (all patients underwent intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring)
- Positive control: Patients with altered intramedullary signal on MRI
- Negative control: Patients with normal intramedullary signal on MRI, but altered functional tests (EMTC or PESS)

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
