Abstract:Figure 2. Correlation between STS and 6MWT results. Conclusions: In a cohort of kidney transplant candidates with long dialysis durations, 6MWT is normally distributed and associated with lower extremity strength (estimated by STS), age and sex but not other comorbidities. These findings suggest that the 6MWT is a promising objective metric to quantify cardiorespiratory fitness among patients on the kidney transplant waitlist beyond traditional comorbidities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
