A window of opportunity exists with regard to optimal timing for lung transplantation. Performance of a transplantation too early may rob the patient of months to years of survival, whereas waiting too long increases the risk of death before transplantation. Several studies have examined specific lung function tests as predictors of death, but none have been shown to be useful across the various disorders leading to end-stage lung disease. We therefore sought to examine the usefulness of the 6-minute walk test as a guide to assessment for transplantation.
