Specifically, to identify clinical and radiographic predictors of carotid plaque, to develop and internal-temporal validate a nomogram to guide selective preoperative carotid ultrasound screening, and to explore the association between carotid disease and both neurological recovery and global patient-reported outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;We conducted a single-center retrospective prognostic cohort study of 160 consecutive patients who underwent cervical decompression for DCM between January 2017 and February 2023, all with ≥ 2 years of follow-up. Patients treated from 2017 to 2021 (n = 104) formed the development cohort, and those treated from 2021 to 2023 (n = 56) constituted a temporally distinct internal-temporal validation cohort from the same institution. Preoperative carotid ultrasonography classified patients by (1) presence of carotid plaque and (2) carotid stenosis severity (none/mild vs. moderate/severe, ≥ 50%). Clinical, biochemical, radiographic, and outcome measures-including mJOA recovery rate and modified Macnab criteria (excellent/good vs. fair/poor)-were compared between groups. In the development cohort, variables with p &lt; 0.05 in univariable analyses entered multivariable logistic regression to identify independent predictors of carotid plaque and construct a nomogram. Model performance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA) in both cohorts. Bootstrap-based internal validation with 1,000 resamples was additionally performed for the final prediction model in the development cohort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Overall, 94 of 160 patients (58.8%) had carotid plaque and 39 (24.4%) had moderate/severe carotid stenosis. In the development cohort, the plaque group was older, had higher body mass index (BMI), more vertigo and hypertension, greater C2-C7 Cobb angle (CL), more moderate/severe stenosis, and a lower proportion of excellent/good outcomes by modified Macnab criteria than the normal group (p &lt; 0.05). Multivariable analysis identified age, BMI, vertigo, and CL as independent predictors of carotid plaque; each 1-year increase in age increased the odds of plaque by 13.7% (odds ratio 1.137, p &lt; 0.001). These four variables were incorporated into a nomogram. The model showed good discrimination in the development cohort (apparent AUC 0.863; optimism-corrected AUC 0.838) and internal-temporal validation cohort (AUC 0.892), with acceptable calibration. DCA in both cohorts demonstrated greater net benefit for nomogram-guided selective screening than for \"screen-all\" or \"screen-none\" strategies across a clinically relevant range of threshold probabilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Carotid atherosclerotic plaque is common in patients und","PeriodicalId":12323,"journal":{"name":"European Spine Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147812835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
