Table 2_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, comparing 45 patients with diabetes mellitus to 187 without. Propensity score matching created a balanced cohort of 74 patients for analysis over a 60–108 month follow-up period. The dataset includes demographic data, clinical scores, radiographic parameters, complications, and reoperation rates.

Use Cases

• Compare long-term clinical scores like VAS and ODI between diabetic and non-diabetic patient groups.
• Analyze the relationship between diabetes and radiographic parameters such as disc height index and multifidus fatty atrophy.
• Investigate the association of diabetes with patient-reported outcomes based on modified MacNab criteria.
• Study complication and reoperation rates in a propensity-matched surgical cohort.

Strengths

• Includes a long-term follow-up duration of 60 to 108 months for all patients.
• Uses propensity score matching to balance baseline covariates between the diabetic and non-diabetic groups.
• Contains multiple validated clinical outcome measures (VAS, JOA, ODI, MacNab criteria) and imaging parameters.

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 17.2 KB, indicating limited scope.
