The 6‐min walk distance: change over time and value as a predictor of survival in severe COPD
Open accessAbstract
The 6‐min walk distance (6MWD) is used to evaluate the functional capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The change in 6MWD over time and its correlation with changes in spirometry and survival are unclear. Patients (n=198) with severe COPD and 41 age-matched controls were followed for 2 yrs, and anthropometrics, spirometry, 6MWD and comorbidities were measured. The 6MWD decreased in the COPD group from 238±107 m to 218±112 m (−26±37 m·yr−1), and increased in the control group from 532±82 m to 549±86 m (12±25 m·yr−1). In both groups, there was a poor correlation with changes in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1). Nonsurvivors in the COPD group (42%) had a more pronounced change in the 6MWD (−40 versus−22 m·yr−1) but a similar change in FEV 1(118 versus 102 mL·yr−1). The 6MWD independently predicted survival, after accounting for age, body mass index, FEV 1 and comorbidities. In severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the 6‐min walk distance predicts mortality better than other traditional markers of disease severity. Its measurement is useful in the comprehensive evaluation of patients with severe disease.

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.
