A prospective, longitudinal study evaluating the baseline six-minute walk test as an individual reference value in systemic sclerosis patients.

CONCLUSIONS: In SSc without ILD and PAH, the 6MWT is feasible and the 6MWD is clinically stable over a 66 months period. Hence, the individual 6MWD might be used as individual reference value in management of those who will develop PAH or ILD. PMID: 30183593 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
