Can we predict neurological complications in patients with metastatic spinal tumors?
In patients with metastatic spinal tumors, high-grade ESCC was a significant predictor of spinal cord injury within 1 year and was associated with an earlier onset of spinal cord injury. Radicular pain and unstable spines based on SINS categories were also strongly associated with the occurrence of spinal cord injury. This study provides valuable insights for predicting 1-year functional outcomes and determining management strategies for spinal metastases.
