Reference values for the 1-minute sit-to-stand test to assess functional capacity and short-term mortality in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and fibrotic connective tissue related interstitial lung diseases: a prospective real-world cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early identification of functional decline in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (F-ILD) is crucial for timely treatment and improved survival. While the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is the standard for functional evaluation, it has practical limitations. The 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1MSTS) offers a simpler alternative; however, its correlation with the 6MWT in F-ILD patients remains unclear. This study aims to establish reference values for the 1MSTS in assessing functional capacity, evaluate its correlation with the 6MWT, and explore its utility in predicting 18-month mortality in F-ILD patients.

Methods

This prospective study enrolled participants diagnosed with F-ILD based on multidisciplinary team discussions. Assessments included the 1MSTS, 6MWT, pulmonary f
