This retrospective study aimed to identify predictive prognostic factors for treatment outcomes in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD). The study analyzed data from 80 patients who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with the Bagby and Kuslich (BAK/C) technique. Patients were stratified into two groups based on clinical outcomes at a 3-year follow-up, and logistic regression was used to determine which factors, such as age and bone mineral density, were independent predictors of poor recovery.
