AB  - BACKGROUND: The timed up and go test (TUGT) is a short-duration functional test 
      frequently used in rehabilitation settings as a measure of balance and mobility. 
      Reliability and validity for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) has yet to 
      be determined. This prospective cohort study aimed to determine test-retest 
      reliability of the TUGT in patients with CHF, relationships between the TUGT and 
      other variables, including functional tests, and predictors of the TUGT. METHODS 
      AND RESULTS: This was a secondary analysis of data collected in a multicenter 
      randomized controlled trial of exercise training in recently hospitalized 
      patients with heart failure (EJECTION-HF). The TUGT was conducted twice at 
      baseline to determine reliability. Assessments were compared with 6-minute walk 
      distance (6MWD), 10-m walk test time, and other clinical variables. Intraclass 
      correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to determine test-retest reliability and 
      correlations for relationships with other variables. A multiple regression was 
      used to identify predictors of the TUGT. In 278 participants (mean age 62 years), 
      the TUGT demonstrated excellent within-day test-retest reliability (ICC 0.93). A 
      shorter (better) TUGT time was associated with longer 6MWD (r = -0.81; P < .001) 
      and shorter 10-m walk test time (rs = 0.80; P < .001). Best predictors of the 
      TUGT were 6MWD and age, which accounted for 66% of the variance. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      TUGT appears to be a reliable and valid functional measurement in patients with 
      CHF.
