There is paucity of evidence in predicting outcomes following cervical decompression in patients in octogenerians with cervical myelopathy. Our aim is to analyse the predictive value of Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) on clinical outcomes in this group. All patients age >80 years who underwent cervical decompression+/−stabilisation between January 2006-December 2021 at University Hospitals of Derby & Burton were included. Logistic regression analysis was performed using JASP.Abstract

Methods
Elderly patients with degenerative lumbar disease are increasingly undergoing posterior lumbar decompression without instrumented stabilisation. There is a paucity of studies examining clinical outcomes, morbidity & mortality associated with this procedure in this population. A retrospective analysis of aged 80–100 years who underwent posterior lumbar decompression without instrumented stabilisation at University Hospitals of Derby &Burton between 2016–2020.Abstract
