Table 1: Motor Outcome: Correlation of BPS groups with motor outcome<br />

BPS grade motor outcome (% of patients)<br />

Good Fair Poor<br />

I- very good (n=3) 67 33 0<br />

II- good (n=8) 84 16 0<br />

III- fair (n=12) 64 9 27<br />

IV- poor (n=5) 60 0 40<br />

A significant improvement in the BF score was seen post-op (p=0.0002). The<br />

ANOVA result showed a significant difference in the mean improvement (as<br />

a percentage of scope of improvement) between BPS groups (p=0.0036)[table<br />

2]. A significant difference in percentage of improvement was seen between<br />

group II (good) and group IV (poor) (p=0.003) [table 3].<br />

Those with pre-op BF score 10 (2 patients in group I and 3 in group III) were<br />

excluded from this analysis because they had no scope for improvement. Since<br />

there was only one observation left in “Very good’ group after this, it was<br />

not possible to estimate the standard error and therefore this group was not<br />

considered for comparison of means.<br />
