6MWT and SMARTREAB telemonitoring compared.
| 6MWT | SMARTREAB | Difference of means* | 95% CI | P-value** | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nadir SpO2 (%; mean ± SD) | 86.2 ± 6.2 | 79.0 ± 8.2 | 7.2 ± 8.4 | 5.6 to 8.9 | < 0.0005 |
| Peak HR (%; mean ± SD) | 71.2 ± 11.9 | 80.6 ± 11.2 | − 9.3 ± 15.5 | − 12.4 to − 6.2 | < 0.0005 |
| Activity intensity (MET; mean ± SD) | 2.6 ± 0.5 | 2.9 ± 0.7 | − 0.3 ± 0.8 | − 0.5 to − 0.2 | < 0.0005 |
*Calculated pairwise.
**Paired sample t-test.
Nadir SpO2: lowest peripheral oxygen saturation detected; HR: heart rate; MET: metabolic equivalent of task; 6MWT: six-minute walk test; CI: confidence interval; SD: standard deviation.
