PurposeTo evaluate the relationship between comorbidities, medical cost, and surgical outcome in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and diabetes mellitus (DM).MethodsData on patients with LSS (n = 14,298) were collected from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database from 2005 to 2007. After 8 years of follow-up, a "DM group" (n = 3,478) and a "non-DM group" (n = 10,820) were compared according to outcome measures. Cox proportional hazard regressions were performed to examine the relationship between DM, hypertension (HTN), cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), cerebrovascular disease (CbVD), and surgery for LSS. The admission rate and medical cost as well asthe overall survival rate for those who underwent lumbar surgery were also assessed among patients with DM and LSS.ResultsMortality was about 1.35 times higher in the DM group than in the non-DM group. Patients with DM and comorbidities including HTN (hazard ratio [HR], 1.40; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.25-1.56; p
