Abstract
Compared with patients aged 60-69 and 70-79, octogenarian patients with CSM were significantly more likely to be discharged to a location other than home following PCF. After controlling for patient comorbidities and demographics, 80- to 89-year-old patients with CSM who underwent PCF did not differ in other outcomes when compared with the other age cohorts. These results can improve preoperative risk counseling and surgical decision-making.
