GP283 Clinical and radiological evaluation of patients with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans

Abstract

on two consecutive beeps. The test takes on average 25 minutes to complete. Results Data was available on 277 children with negative bronchial reactivity. The M;F was 1.27:1. The mean age was 10 years old (range 5-15).The number of patients per age in years ranged from 14 to 33 (mean 25). The line of best fit indicates that the mean exercise distance reached in meters was given by the formula Y = (54.7×Age) + 404. The study noted that the main reasons for test cessation related to fatigue and shortness of breath.Abstract GP282 Table 1 Conclusions This study defines normative data for children's exercise capacity as measured by the MST. It provides a frame of reference for parents in discussing their child's exercise tolerance and the modified formula is easy to use (distance travelled = 55x Age + 400m).
