Abstracts were reviewed, and studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected. The guidelines group assembled an evidentiary table summarizing the quality of evidence (Classes I\u2013III). Disagreements regarding the level of evidence were resolved through an expert consensus conference. The group formulated recommendations that contained the degree of strength based on the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines network. Validation was done through peer review by the Joint Guidelines Committee of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons\/Congress of Neurological Surgeons.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Preoperative sensory-evoked potentials may aid in providing prognostic information in selected patients in whom clinical factors do not provide clear guidance (Class II). Age, duration of symptoms, and preoperative neurological function may commonly affect outcome (Class III).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Age, duration of symptoms, and preoperative neurological function should be discussed with patients when surgical intervention for cervical spondylotic myelopathy is considered. Preoperative sensory-evoked potentials may be considered for patients in whom clinical factors do not provide clear guidance if such information would potentially change therapeutic decisions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2009.1.spine08718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,23]],"date-time":"2011-02-23T16:42:06Z","timestamp":1298479326000},"page":"112-118","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":97,"title":["Clinical prognostic indicators of surgical outcome in cervical spondylotic myelopathy"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Langston T.","family":"Holly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles, California;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul G.","family":"Matz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurological Surgery, University of Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul A.","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael W.","family":"Groff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert F.","family":"Heary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey\u2014New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael G.","family":"Kaiser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurological Surgery, Neurological Institute, Columbia University, New York, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Praveen V.","family":"Mummaneni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of California at San Francisco, California;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timothy C.","family":"Ryken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanvir F.","family":"Choudhri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, New York; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward J.","family":"Vresilovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Milton S.
