Abstract:a new deficit significantly increased as a function of the magnitude of IONM change and type of complication (table 2). For procedures with changes associated with a perioperative complication (n=83), the rate of new neurologic deficit was 60% if the change remained unresolved (n=18/30). However, the rate and risk of new deficit was significantly decreased if a change was partially resolved (28.6%, n=6/21, OR=0.27), and was dramatically decreased if fully resolved (3.1%, n=1/ 32, OR=0.02) (figure 1).
