Özet

Knowledge of the factors affecting functional outcomes has an important role in the development of the care plan in children with spinal cord tumors. Retrospective study was planned to determine predictors of functional independence in children with spinal cord tumors. Data from 80 children treated for spinal cord tumors over 2001-2020-year period was analyzed. Results showed that key predictors such as younger age, higher KPS, and better initial WeeFIM scores were strongly associated with improved functional outcomes. Further multicenter prospective studies are recommended to validate these findings and explore long-term functional outcomes to enhance rehabilitation strategies for this patient population.
