    ObjectiveTo explore relevant influencing factors of the prognosis of patients with winter sports-induced traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema after emergency surgical treatment.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 73 cases of traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema in The First Hospital Affiliated to Hebei North University from January 2020 to October 2022. The enrolled patients were divided into the good prognosis (n=17) group and poor prognosis (n=56) group according to the recovery of neurological function after six months of follow-up. The risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema after emergency surgery were analyzed by binary Logistic regression.ResultsAmong the enrolled 73 patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema, 56 cases showed significant improvement in ASIA Grade-6 months after operation, with an improvement rate of 76.71%. Further Logistic regression analysis revealed that concomitant diabetes, preoperative MSCC>40.83% and recovery rate of AMS <40.13% 3d after operation were independent risk factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema.ConclusionsEmergency surgery can improve the neurological function of patients with cervical spinal cord injury complicated with intramedullary hemorrhage and edema caused by winter sports. Concomitant diabetes, preoperative MSCC and recovery rate of AMS 3d after operation are the main factors affecting the prognosis of patients with emergency surgery.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
