Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Galway University Hospital Network, Ireland.
Background: The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) provide a framework of evidence-based guidelines for the management of metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC). We aimed to compare our center's provision of service to these best practice guidelines and discuss key shortcomings with their implications for the spinal surgeon.
Methods: Patients with radiologic evidence of MSCC over a 30-month period were identified using the hospital electronic radiological database.
