Popis: Abstract Background Cervical spondylotic myelopathy preoperative prognostic factors include age, preoperative severity, and disease duration. However, there are no reports on the relationship between changes in physical function during hospitalization and postoperative course, and in recent years, the length of hospital stay has shortened. We aimed to investigate whether changes in physical function during hospitalization can predict the postoperative outcome. Methods We recruited 104 patients who underwent laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy by the same surgeon. Physical functions, including Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF), grip strength, timed up and go test, 10-m walk, and time to stand on one leg, were assessed at admission and discharge. Patients with the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score improvement rate of 50% or more were defined as the improved group. Decision tree analysis was investigated factor for identifying improvement in the JOA score. According to this analysis, we divided into two groups using age. Then, we conducted a logistic regression analysis to identify factors that improve the JOA score. Results The improved and non-improved groups had 31 and 73 patients, respectively. The improved group was younger (p = 0.003) and had better improved Δgrip strength (p = 0.001) and ΔSTEF (p
