The P-mJOA: A Patient-derived, Self-reported Outcome Instrument for Evaluating Cervical MyelopathyComparison with the mJOA

Conclusions: The P-mJOA provided identical mean scores to the mJOA in assessing myelopathy with moderate to strong agreement. Comprised of the same 4 questions as the mJOA but slightly reworded for patient comprehension, the P-mJOA also demonstrated low patient burden in completing the survey. We believe the P-mJOA is a promising tool in cervical myelopathy research with the benefits of a patient-derived outcome measure and low patient burden. Level of Evidence: Level II.
