Objective. The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative complications and clinical efficacy of patients with cervical spondylosis with spinal cord compression (CSWSCC) with or without MRI T2WIHS (T2-weighted image high signal) by means of propensity matching score grouping. Methods. We analyzed a single-center data of 913 surgical patients with CSWSCC by propensity matching score in this study, of which 326 patients had preoperative cervical MRI T2WIHS. The patient’s general condition and perioperative indicators were collected. The MRI T2WIHS and normal groups were paired 1 : 1 to eliminate selection bias by propensity matching score. Finally, a total of 312 pairs were matched successfully. The results of perioperative complications and other outcome variables were compared between the two groups by Cox function analysis. Results. The postoperative blood loss, operation time, blood transfusion volume, systemic complications, local complications, volume of drainage, abnormal use of antibiotic, length of hospital stay, and JOA (Japanese Orthopaedic Association) improvement rate were analyzed. As the only complication with significant statistical difference, the incidence of IRI (ischemia-reperfusion injury) in patients with MRI T2WIHS was significantly higher. The length of hospital stay was more significantly increased in patients with MRI T2WIHS; on the contrary, the JOA improvement rate decreased significantly. Conclusion. This study confirmed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications in CSWSCC patients with or without MRI T2WIHS, except for the IRI. Moreover, the JOA improvement rate of patients without MRI T2WIHS was significantly better, with the length of hospital stay reduced.
