Brief summary
This observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anterior cervical spine surgery in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease
Detailed description
This observational study is an ambispective cohort designed. Patients who are diagnosed cervical degenerative disc disease will be selected to join in this study. Visual Analogue Scale, Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scale, Neck Disability Index, SF-36, and device related or procedure related adverse events will be recorded and compared to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anterior cervical spine surgery in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scale | 1st year | Establishing criteria for mild, moderate and severe impairment in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy. The minimum value is 0, and the maximum value is 17. Higher scores mean a better outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Neck Disability Index | 1st year | The index to evaluate the neck pain and life quality. The minimum value is 0%, and the maximum value is 100%. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. |
