It contributes to high morbidity and consequent economic burden for society. Many measurement tools have been devised to quantify the disease severity, assist in decision-making, and to evaluate the outcome of surgical intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most of the assessment scales are used for research purposes only and rarely in clinical practice. The purpose of this survey was to check the awareness of spine surgeons about these assessment scales and their role in the management of patients with CSM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An online questionnaire using the application \u201cGoogle Forms\u201d made consisting of 10 questions regarding the experience of treating the CSM patients and their preference for various parameters in assessing these patients. Statistical analysis was done using the statistical programming language R.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One-hundred and sixty-three responses were analyzed. About 90% of the respondents were aware of the assessment tools and only 57% of them used any in management. Nurick's grade was the most well known among all groups. The commonest reason for surgeons not using any of these assessment scales despite being aware of these scales was their perception that it is very time-consuming to complete these assessment scales.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Assessment scales have a role in the management and follow-up of CSM patients. While awareness regarding these tools is well spread, time constraint plays a major role in limiting its usage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0028-3886.360923","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,24]],"date-time":"2023-08-24T03:28:48Z","timestamp":1692847728000},"page":"S276-S281","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Use of Assessment Tools in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy\u2014Results of An Anonymized Survey Among Indian Spine Surgeons"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Kanwaljeet","family":"Garg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roshan","family":"Sahu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohit","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shashwat","family":"Mishra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sachin","family":"Borkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"PS","family":"Chandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shashank S","family":"Kale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-29-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"190S","DOI":"10.1016\/j.spinee.2006.04.024","article-title":"Pathophysiology of cervical myelopathy","volume":"6","author":"Baptiste","year":"2006","journal-title":"Spine J"},{"key":"R2-29-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104","DOI":"10.3171\/2009.1.SPINE08716","article-title":"The natural history of cervical spondylotic myelopathy","volume":"11","author":"Matz","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Spine"},{"key":"R3-29-20240907","first-page":"43","article-title":"Cervical spondylosis.
