Objective Our objectives were to explore the association between phosphodiesterase 5
inhibitor use and lumbar decompression surgery by evaluating the prevalence of lumbar
decompression surgery in a treatment group of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis
compared with a control group. Design We performed database review and extracted data
including lumbar decompression surgery prevalence, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor
dosage, and fill dates. Treatment group was defined as those with phosphodiesterase 5 …
