Abstract

Introduction: Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) have an impaired functional capacity and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The one-minute sit-to-stand test (1-min STST) can be used for the assessment of functional capacity. Aims: Our aim was to evaluate the 1-min STST performance and its association with patient-reported HRQoL in patients with PH. Methods: We prospectively assessed functional capacity in 98 PH patients (mean age 66 ± 15 years, 55% female) using the 1-min STST. Patients had to stand up and sit down from a chair as many times as possible within one minute. Patients’ HRQoL was evaluated with the Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR) questionnaire, which consists of the three subcategories symptoms, activities and quality of life (QoL). Results: We observed a significant correlation of the 1-min STST performance with all HRQoL subcategories assessed with the CAMPHOR questionnaire: A lower number of 1-min STST repetitions correlated with more symptoms (rs = -.398, p
