Epidemiological Study of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: 10-Year Follow-Up in the Community.

The statistical predictor of the presence of LSS symptoms at 10 years was the presence of LSS symptoms at the initial survey; however, 60% of those who were positive for LSS symptoms at the initial survey were not determined to have LSS symptoms at the 10-year follow-up. This was the same result as at the 1-year and 6-year follow-up.
