Abstract

Purpose: Our study was conducted to define the relationship between Six-Minute Walking Test which defines exercise capacity and pulmonary function test, arteriel blood gase analysis, dyspnea query, general and health related quality of life questionnaire which are used to evaluate the respiratory patients, and peripheral muscle strength. Material and Methods: 60 moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease whose mean age 66,37+ 8.98 were taken for the study. The exercise capacity of the cases was observed by using Six-Minute Walking Test, the lung capacity of the cases was observed by using pulmonary function test and arteriel blood gase analysis. Dyspnea and fatigue observations was carried out with Modified Borg Scale. Health related quality of life was evaluated with Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire. General health related quality of life was evaluated by using Short Form-36 quality of life questionnaire. Hearth rate and peripheral saturation was recorded during the walking test with pulse oximeter. Results: It was determined that walking time, walking distance, and VO2max were corelated with age (r>0,82, p<0,01) and muscle strength (r>0,27, p<0,04), and dyspnea severity (r>0,36, p<0,001). In addition to this, walking time was correlated with FVC% (r=0,29, p=0,03) ve PaO2 (r=0,30, p=0,02). VO2max was correlated with FEV1/FVC (r=0,27, p=0.04). It was determined that all catagories of the Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire without emotional catagories were correlated with walking distance (r>0,24, p<0,04). VO2max was correlated with only Dyspnea catagories (r=0,32, p=0,01), physical function and physical role catagories of Short Form-36 quality of life questionnaire walking time and VO2max. In addition walking distance correlated with physical function, emotional, social, and mental status catagories. There were no correlation between Six-Minute Walking Test data and other assestment parameters. Conclusion: Six-Minute Walking Test results were related with catagories of dyspnea severity, peripheral muscle strength and quality of life questionnaire which observes the physical activity level of the cases more than pulmonary function test and arteriel blood gase analysis. It was determined that explaining the Six-Minute Walking Test results walking distance was more important than VO2max and walking time.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamız, egzersiz kapasitesini tanımlayan 6 dakika yürüme testinin solunum hastalarının değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan solunum fonksiyon testi, arteriyel kan gazı analizi, dispne sorgulaması, genel ve sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi anket sonuçları ve periferal kas kuvveti ile ilişkisini tanımlamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaş ortalaması 66,37±8.98 yıl olan 60 orta-ağır şiddetli kronik obstruktif akciğer hastası çalışmaya alındı. Olguların egzersiz kapasitesi 6 dakika yürüme testi ile, solunumsal fonksiyonel düzey solunum fonksiyon testi ve arteriyel kan gazı analizi ile, dispne ve yorgunluk sorgulaması Modifiye Borg Skalasıyla, sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi Kronik Solunum Hastalıkları Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi ile, genel sağlıkla ilgili yaşam kalitesi Short Form-36 Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi ile yorumlandı. Yürüme testi sırasında kalp hızı ve periferal saturasyon pulse oximeter ile değerlendi. Ayrıca periferal kas kuvveti quadriceps femoris kasına manuel kas testi yapılarak yorumlandı. Bulgular: Yürüme süresi, mesafesi ve maksimal oksijen tüketiminin yaş (r>0,33, p 0,27, p 0,36, p 0,26, p 0,29, p 0,27, p<0,05) ile, yürüme mesafesinin ise fiziksel fonksiyon bölümünün (r=0,47, p<0,001) yanı sıra emosyonel (r=0,29, p<0,05), sosyal (r=0,36, p<0,05) ve mental durum (r=0,28, p<0,05) bölümleri ile ilişkili olduğu bulundu. Tartışma: 6 dakika yürüme test sonuçlarının solunum fonksiyon testi ve arteriyel kan gazı analizi değerlerinden çok, algılanan dispne şiddeti ve periferal kas kuvveti ile ilişkili olduğu gözlendi. Ayrıca yaşam kalitesi anketlerinin fiziksel aktivite düzeyini sorgulayan bölümleri ile de ilişkili olduğu saptandı. En güçlü ilişkinin yürüme mesafesine ait olması nedeniyle 6 dakika yürüme test sonuçlarının yorumlanmasında özellikle yürüme mesafesi değerinin dikkate alınması gerektiği sonucuna varıldı.
