Predictors of outcome in patients with cerebral palsy following selective dorsal rhizotomy.

Background: To identify outcome predictors of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) using logistic regression models.

Methods: A retrospective single-center study was conducted on children with spastic CP who had undergone SDR. Two outcomes were defined, one representing children not improving in motor function and spasticity and one representing children improving in motor function two years after surgery.
