Minimal Clinically Important Difference in 30 Second Sit-to-stand Test After Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients With COPD
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD. Completed, enrolled 96 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The sit-to-stand test (STST) is a feasible alternative for measuring peripheral muscle strength of the lower limbs. Our aim was to evaluate, in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients, the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of 30-second STST (30-STST) after pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Stable COPD inpatients undergoing 30-STST and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) before and after PR were included. Responsiveness to PR was determined by pre-to-post PR (Δ) evaluation of 30-STST. The MCID was evaluated using an anchor-based method.
