Zusammenfassung:HYPOTHESIS Systemic temperature influences the development of neurologic deficits after aortic surgery. DESIGN Retrospective case-comparison study of prospectively collected data. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS We examined spinal cord injury according to mild passive hypothermia (mean temperature, 36.5°C; n = 25), moderate active hypothermia (temperature range, 29°C-32°C; n = 76), or profound hypothermia (temperature,
