Fig. 6From: Surgical treatment indications and outcomes in patients with spinal metastases in the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ)Kaplan-Meier curves for postoperative survival as a function of KPS, ambulatory, SINS, and Modified Tokuhashi score. a No difference in survival between patients with preoperative KPS ≥ 70% and KPS < 70% (P = 0.631). b The survival time was significantly improved for patients with postoperative ambulatory (P = 0.009). c No difference in survival between patients with preoperative SINS = 7–12 and SINS = 13–18 (P = 0.631). d No difference in survival between patients with preoperative Modified Tokuhashi score = 0–8 and 9–12 (P = 0.122).
