PAH: pulmonary arterial hypertension; CTD: connective tissue disease; IPAH: idiopathic PAH; DPAH: drug-induced PAH; HPAH: heritable PAH; CTD-PAH: CTD-associated PAH; WHO: World Health Organization; RAP: right-atrial pressure. #: two types of walking test were used, the 6-min walk test (6MWT) and the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT). For Cox regression modelling, distances were converted to a z-score and combined.
