Description

Ben Saad et al developed equations for predicting the six minute walking distance (6MWD) in healthy North African pediatric patients. The authors are from EPS Farhat Hached (Sousse, Tunisia), INSERM, and Hopital Arnaud de Villeneuve (Montpellier, France).


Patient selection: age 6 to 16 years, North African, healthy

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) weight in kilograms

(3) height in centimeters

 

predicted distance in meters =

= (4.63 * (height in cm)) + (10.42 * (age)) - (3.53 * (weight)) + 56.32
