Six-Minute Walk, Maximal Exercise Tests: Reproducibility in Fibrotic Interstitial Pneumonia

Resting pulmonary function and exercise variables are widely used to stage and monitor idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). However, the variability of exercise data (maximal exercise and the 6-minute walk test) has not been evaluated definitively. We have prospectively quantified the reproducib...
