Natural History and Prognosis of Cervical Spondylosis
Open accessAbstract
It is now fi**ffftn years since cervical spondylosis was clearly defined (Brain, Knight, and Bull, 1948), but this is not long in terms of natural history, and it is not surprising that little has been written on this aspect of the disease. Brain (1962) considered that the natural tendency of cervical spondylosis was to become arrested, but most of those affected were left with a variable degree of disability. Wilkinson (1962) wrote that the prognosis of cervical spondylosis was good, provided that the condition was recognized early, appro priate treatment was given, and the patient was told how to cope with his disability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
