Six-minute walk distance (6MWD) is increasingly recognized as reliable predictor of clinical course, especially when longitudinally considered. The use of reference equations to express 6MWD as percent predicted (6MWD%) has not been previously studied in fibrosing ILDs.

Patients were divided into a discovery (n = 211) and a validation (n = 260) cohort. Longitudinal changes of 6MWD% and lung function parameters were simultaneously considered. LTx-free survival at 3 years from baseline was the endpoint.
