Treatment of intact familial intracranial aneurysms: a decision-analytical approach.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Distal junctional kyphosis (DJK) development after cervical deformity (CD)-corrective surgery is a growing concern for surgeons and patients. Few studies have investigated risk factors that predict the occurrence of DJK. OBJECTIVE:To predict DJK development after CD surgery using predictive modeling. METHO...
