Morphometric analysis included MRI measurements of the anteroposterior diameter of the intervertebral disc and dural sac, and the modified Torg-Pavlov ratio (mTPR), with follow-up re-evaluations at 6 months.&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Results&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; Of 159 patients, 49 (30.8%) had LUTS and 110 (69.2%) were in the control group. LUTS patients had a significantly higher prevalence of neurogenic claudication (100% vs. 47.3%; p&amp;amp;lt;0.001), lower back pain (93.9% vs. 77.3%; p=0.011), and lower extremity pain (57.1% vs. 34.5%; p=0.008). The LUTS group also had higher ODI (54.0 vs. 50.0; p=0.019) and SSSQ score (44.0 vs. 34.0; p&amp;amp;lt;0.001). Morphometric analysis showed significantly lower mTPR in LUTS patients (median 0.31 vs. 0.45; p&amp;amp;lt;0.001), with an AUC of 0.704 (95%CI 0.627-0.774). mTPR&amp;amp;le;0.31 predicted surgical revision within 6 months (OR:3.4, CI: 1.2-9.8), motor deficiency (OR:2.1, 95%CI: 1.4-5.2), and persistent LUTS post-surgery (OR:4.5, 95%CI: 1.1-18.9). mTPR&amp;amp;le;0.34 was associated with worse follow-up outcome, including increased ODI (&amp;amp;beta;:3.2; 95%CI: 1.1-5.3; p=0.004) and SSSQ score (&amp;amp;beta;:4.8; 95%CI:2.1-7.5).&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Conclusion&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; LUTS patients with LSS exhibit more severe symptoms and poorer outcome, with mTPR&amp;amp;le;0.34 being a predictor of adverse clinical outcome and the need for surgical revision within 6
