Systematic Review (n=21)
What are the preoperative predictors for postoperative clinical outcome in lumbar spinal stenosis surgery?
Preoperative factors such as depression, comorbidities, and walking ability can predict postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis.
Aalto et al. (2006) conducted a systematic review in Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) (n=21). Preoperative predictors was evaluated on Clinical outcome after lumbar spinal stenosis surgery. Depression, cardiovascular comorbidity, and scoliosis predicted poorer subjective outcomes after lumbar spinal stenosis surgery, while better walking ability predicted better outcomes.
