Cervical myelopathy symptom severity, posterior-based cervical surgical approach, and lower body mass index are associated with postoperative delirium: A retrospective observational study
For patients who have CSM, more severe symptoms (lower mJOA scores) and lower BMI were independently associated with greater POD severity. In addition, posterior-based surgical procedures were independently associated with greater POD incidence and severity.
