 This study explored the outcome of elderly patients (>75 years) with severe cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The disease-specific status and patient-based outcome of 19 patients who received cervical spine surgeries between 1994 and 2003 were evaluated. The postoperative recovery rate, determined by comparing the JOA scores, was only 21.5% and was poorly correlated with the patient or family's level of satisfaction with the surgical results. On the other hand, patient or family satisfaction was strongly correlated with the mental component domains of the SF-36®, a generic health QOL status, and was also correlated with the patients' levels of independence. Therefore, generic QOL assessments and nursing care conditions should be considered when reporting the outcomes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, especially in elderly people.
