Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Abstract
A 72-year-old woman with hypertension presents with a 4-month history of lower back discomfort that radiates to both buttocks and lateral thighs. Previously, she walked 2 miles (3.2 km) a day; now she has difficulty walking two blocks and standing up for more than 15 minutes at a time. Her physical examination is notable only for a slightly stooped posture and a reduction of vibratory sensibility in both great toes. How should she be evaluated and treated?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
