Bilsky 2-3 lesions were associated with longer length of stay, more nonhome discharge, worse postoperative KPS/modified McCormick scale score, shorter OS, and reduced survival at 1 year. Higher-grade Bilsky score lesions appear to be at a higher risk for worse outcomes. Efforts should be made to identify metastatic spine patients before they reach the point of severe spinal cord compression..
