Abstract

A rate of concomitant diseases in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) was studied, a relation between the comorbidness and severity of symptoms was established, correlation factors and significance of the dependence of basic neurological syndromes of LSS upon the comorbidness factor and age were calculated. The most pronounced effect on the severity of neurogenic intermittent claudication was produced by concomitant cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and overweight, which, in its turn, depended upon the patients’ age. The above fact serves as a solid confirmation for the hypothesis about a pathogenic role of age-dependent concomitant diseases in the transformation of an asymptomatic narrowing of the lumbar compartment of the vertebral canal into LSS with its clinical manifestations.
