Table 1_Clinical and imaging impact of diabetes mellitus on elderly patients with lumbar s

A retrospective study of 232 elderly patients with single-level lumbar spinal stenosis who underwent percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression, including 45 patients with diabetes mellitus. The dataset contains demographic data, clinical scores, radiographic parameters, complications, and reoperation rates, with a follow-up duration of 60–108 months. It was created by Tusheng Li and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Comparing long-term clinical scores (VAS, JOA, ODI) between diabetic and non-diabetic patient groups based on the study results.
• Analyzing the association between diabetes and radiographic outcomes like disc height index and multifidus fatty atrophy.
• Investigating the impact of a comorbidity on surgical success rates using propensity score-matched cohorts.
• Studying the relationship between glycemic control and musculoskeletal degeneration in elderly surgical patients.

Strengths

• Includes a long-term follow-up period of 60–108 months for patient outcomes.
• Uses propensity score matching to balance baseline covariates between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups.
• Compares multiple outcome measures: clinical scores, imaging parameters, complications, and reoperation rates.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 17.6 KB, indicating limited scope.
