Risk factors affecting the vital prognosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis after primary cervical spine surgery: a retrospective study
SAS comorbidity, high-dose prednisolone administration, lower serum albumin levels, and advanced age exacerbate the vital prognosis in patients with RA requiring primary cervical spine surgery. Strict disease control aimed at preventing CSL progression to SAS by maintaining the nutritional status and without using steroids is necessary to improve the vital prognosis of patients with RA.
