Assessment of Six-Minute Walk Test Among Discharge-Ready Severe COVID-19 Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: Background Among patients hospitalized for severe pneumonia due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19), clinical stability and normal resting peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) levels are widely used as a discharge criterion after recovery. It is unknown whether a test to assess the functional exercise capacity, like a six-minute walk test (6MWT), can add to the appropriateness of discharge criteria. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertia… Show more
