Higher EBQ, Global VBQ, U-L VBQ scores and older age are linked to higher TMC subsidence risk. In the cohort of matched patients, An EBQ threshold of 2.44 demonstrated predictive efficacy for TMC subsidence (AUC\u2009=\u20090.752, 78.8% sensitivity, 69.7% specificity). A U-L VBQ score threshold of 2.57 and Global VBQ score threshold of 2.56 both demonstrated good prediction of TMC subsidence. The former achieved 84.8% sensitivity and 57.6% specificity, while the latter showed 86.3% sensitivity with 52.4% specificity. The two matched groups had similar improvements in patient-reported outcomes including VAS score, NDI and mJOA score.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher EBQ score was an independent factor for TMC subsidence.
