Abstract

Background: This study aims to determine test-retest reliability and to calculate minimal detectable change (MDC) scores for the functional capacity of the 6-minute step test (6MST) and 1 min sit-to-stand test (1-min-STST), and compare these outcomes with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in post-COVID-19 patients.

Methods: A total of 42 post-COVID-19 patients aged 18 years or older were recruited for this study. The post-COVID-19 patients were investigated for cardiovascular response parameters induced by a 6MWT, 6MST, and 1-min-STST on two different days, with a five-day interval between the first and second days.

Results: The test-retest reliability obtained between the initial measurement and the measurement recorded five days later in the post-COVID-19 patients was excellent for all three of the 6MWT, 6MST, and 1-min-STST. The ICC of the 6MWT was 0.97 with MDC95 at 5.57%. The ICC of the 6MST was 0.93 with MDC95 at 12.21%, while, the ICC of the 1-min-STST was 0.96 with MDC95 at 3.61%.

Conclusions: The 6MST and 1-min-STST were valid and acceptable for the evaluation of functional capacity in post- COVID-19 patients and can be used to investigate whether each post-COVID-19 patient had made significant improvement in a clinical setting.

covid -19后患者6分钟步测和1分钟坐立测的重测信度和最小可检测变化

背景：本研究旨在确定重测信度，计算6分钟步行测试（6MST）和1分钟坐立测试（1 min- stst）功能能力的最小可检测变化（MDC）评分，并将这些结果与6分钟步行测试（6MWT）进行比较。方法：共招募42例18岁及以上的新冠肺炎后患者。在不同的两天（第一天和第二天间隔5天），研究6MWT、6MST和1 min- stst诱导的covid -19后患者心血管反应参数。结果：对于6MWT、6MST和1 min- stst这三种情况，covid -19后患者的初始测量与5天后记录的测量之间的重测信度均为极好。6MWT的ICC为0.97，MDC95为5.57%。6MST的ICC为0.93，MDC95为12.21%；1min - stst的ICC为0.96，MDC95为3.61%。结论：6MST和1 min- stst用于评估COVID-19后患者的功能能力是有效和可接受的，可用于调查每个COVID-19后患者在临床环境中是否有显着改善。
