Older patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) often have multiple comorbidities and are prescribed numerous medications. Thus, we investigated the current status of medication use among older patients with DCM, identified the characteristics of those with hyperpolypharmacy, and evaluated its impact on postoperative outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective study included 130 older patients with surgery for DCM.
