Prediction of quality of life improvements in patients with lumbar stenosis following use of membrane stabilizing agents

Highlights • Nomograms were created to predict improvement in QOL after treatment with MSAs. • No variables predicted need for surgery or time to surgery. • Worse QOL, less depression, greater median income, predicted superior QOL outcomes.
