From a final total of 66 cases of SCD identified, ambulation scores were assigned based on the clinical descriptions reported.

Nearly 90% of patients walking unsupported at diagnosis made a complete recovery regardless of etiology. For patients initially walking with support, 22% of cases from impaired B12 digestion\/absorption made a complete recovery compared with \u226550% of cases from other etiologies. For patients initially requiring a wheelchair, 33% of cases from impaired digestion\/absorption were able to walk with support compared with \u226550% of cases from other etiologies. The total B12 administered over the course of treatment was correlated with improved ambulation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic><jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.024<\/jats:italic>) for all patients, with a higher B12 replacement regimen associated with better outcomes in patients who were unable to walk unsupported at diagnosis (number needed to treat\u00a0=\u00a04).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Initial ambulatory function may be a useful clinical marker of the severity of spinal cord dysfunction and final functional outcome. Etiological risk factors influenced both clinical manifestations and final walking ability in SCD, suggesting a distinct pathophysiological mechanism among the causes.
