What is Impact of Age Within Younger Populations on Outcomes Following Cervical Surgery in the Ambulatory Setting about?

## Objective: To determine the effect of age within the younger population seen at ambulatory surgical centers on patient-reported outcome measures (proms) after cervical spine surgery. ## Methods: Patients of age <65 years undergoing single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (acdf) or cervical disc replacement (cdr) were included. patients were divided by mean age of initial population (46 years). proms included patient-reported outcome measurement information system physical function (promis-pf), 12-item short-form physical component survey (sf-12 pcs), visual analog scale (vas) neck, vas arm, neck disability index (ndi) collected preoperatively and at postoperative time points up to 2 years. ## Results: 138 patients were included, with 66 patients <46 years. both cohorts demonstrated improvement from preoperative baseline with regard to all studied proms at multiple time points postoperatively (p ≤ 0.042, all). between groups, the older cohort demonstrated greater mean promis-pf scores preoperatively and at 6 weeks (p ≤ 0.011, both), while vas arm scores were lower in the older group at 1 year (p = 0.002), and ndi scores were lower in the older group at 6 weeks and 1
