<b><i>Background:</i></b> In idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), some physiological parameters measured during a 6-min walk test (6-MWT) impart reliable prognostic information. Sit-to-stand tests (STSTs) are field exercise tests that are easier to implement than the 6-MWT in daily practice. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The aims of the study were to test the reproducibility and compare 2 STSTs (the 1-min STST [1-STST] and the semi-paced 3-min chair rise test [3-CRT]) in IPF, and to determine if selected physiological parameters (speed of displacement and changes in pulse oxygen saturation [SpO<sub>2</sub>]) are interchangeable between the STSTs and the 6-MWT. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Thirty-three patients with stable IPF were studied in 3 French expert centers. To test reproducibility, intra-class correlations (ICCs) of parameters measured during tests performed 7–14 days apart were calculated. To test interchangeability, the agreement and correlation of physiological responses measured during STSTs and during 6-MWT were studied. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Vertical displacements and changes in SpO<sub>2</sub> during both STSTs were reproducible, with ICCs ranging from 0.78 [0.63–0.87] to 0.95 [0.92–0.97]. Vertical displacements during 1-STST and 3-CRT were correlated with 6-MWT distance (correlation coefficients (<i>r</i>) of 0.72 and 0.77, respectively; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). Similarly, correlations were found between changes in SpO<sub>2</sub> measured during the 2 STSTs and the 6-MWT, with coefficients ranging from 0.73 to 0.91 (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001). Distance walked and SpO<sub>2</sub> during 6-MWT were well estimated from vertical displacement and SpO<sub>2</sub> during the 2 STSTs, respectively. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The correlations found between the 2 STSTs and the 6-MWT suggest that STSTs may be of interest to assess displacement and exercise-induced changes in SpO<sub>2</sub> in IPF patients.

Objective: This study was designed to analyze the clinical features of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients who attended a Korean medicine hospital and the treatment effects through retrospective chart reviews.Methods: The medical records of 82 outpatients who had been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and visited the Allergy, Immune, and Respiratory System Department of Kyung Hee Korean Medicine Hospital from 8 January 2015 to 8 January 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. To assess the treatment outcomes, we used the FVC (Forced Vital Capacity), DLCO (Diffusing capacity of the Lung for CO), 6-minute walk test, and HRCT (High Resolution Computed Tomography).Results: The study group consisted of 28 females and 54 males. The median age of the patients was 67.98±11.44 years. The chief complaints were cough (n=51) and dyspnea (n=49). Other frequent symptoms were general weakness (n=8), weight loss (n=4), and a fever (n=2). A total of 77 (93.90%) patients were prescribed Korean herbal medicine, and 52 (63.41%) patients were treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, ICT, or pharmacopuncture. After treatments, FVC, DLCO, the 6-minute walk test, and HRCT were maintained or worsened slightly.Conclusions: This study presented the characteristics of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients treated by Korean medical therapies, and further studies of Korean medical treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients would be valuable.
