PG - e206-e213 LID - S1878-8750(22)01524-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.10.107 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: We aim to compare the postoperative clinical outcomes, through patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and minimum clinically important difference (MCID), in patients undergoing cervical disc replacement (CDR) with preoperative predominant neck pain (pNP) or arm pain (pAP). METHODS: Patients undergoing primary CDR were separated into pNP or pAP cohorts. Demographic, perioperative characteristics, PROMs at preoperative and postoperative time points, and MCID were compared using inferential statistics. Assessed PROMs included Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System-Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), 12-Item Short Form Physical/Mental Component Score (SF-12 PCS/MCS), visual analog scale (VAS) neck, VAS arm, and Neck Disability Index. RESULTS: There were a total of 84 patients, with 54 patients in the pNP cohort. The pNP cohort showed significant postoperative improvement in all PROMs, except for 6-week and 1-year SF-12 PCS, 1-year SF-12 MCS, and 6-month VAS arm score (P
