Surgery yields greater neurologic recovery than non-operative management. During the past decade, strong scientific evidence for earlier surgery has emerged, showing improved outcomes and fewer complications. The goal of this study was to correlate timing of surgery to medical complications and whether rates of early surgery have been increasing in line with recent evidence. 000009587 540__ $$fCC BY 000009587 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009587 650__ $$aCentral Cord Syndrome$$032228 000009587 650__ $$aMorbidity$$022428 000009587 650__ $$aSpinal Cord Injuries$$026282 000009587 6531_ $$aoutcomes 000009587 6531_ $$acomplications 000009587 6531_ $$asurgery 000009587 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009587 692__ $$aDepartment of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation$$041436 000009587 7001_ $$aSomogyi, Rita$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009587 7001_ $$aSmith, Spencer$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009587 7001_ $$aYoo, Jung$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009587 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2022 000009587 8564_ $$976b15b68-5ede-44c0-b329-fd2ea2a6d4ee$$s181179$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9587/files/Somogyi-Rita-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2022.pdf 000009587 905__ $$a/rest/prod/rb/68/xc/51/rb68xc51k 000009587 980__ $$aResearch Week
