Abstract:IntroductionCardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold standard for measuring exercise capacity, however, it is resource intensive and has limited availability. This study aimed to determine: 1) the association between the 6‐min walk test (6MWT) and the 30‐s sit‐to‐stand test (30STS) with CPET peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and anaerobic threshold (AT) and 2) 6MWT and 30STS cut points associated with a higher risk of postoperative complications.MethodsA cross‐sectional study, retrospectively analyzing d… Show more
