AB  - BACKGROUND: The six-minute walk test (6MWT) has been used to evaluate 
      postsurgical recovery in cardiac patients. No previous study has compared the 
      6MWT at follow-up with a baseline, or evaluated the long-term effects of cardiac 
      surgery on post-discharge 6MWT OBJECTIVES: To identify the factors independently 
      associated with 6MWD, and to develop an equation to predict 6MWT at the 4-6-week 
      follow-up after post-cardiac surgery hospital discharge. METHODS: Patient data of 
      elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or non-CABG surgery patients were 
      retrospectively collected. The 6MWT was performed at hospital discharge and at 
      the 4-6-week follow-up. Available demographic and clinical data of patients were 
      analyzed to determine the independent factors of 6MWT. An equation to predict 
      6MWT were generated by forward stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. 
      RESULTS: The data of 275 patients (mean age: 62.20+/-14.57 years, 64.7% male) were 
      analyzed. The mean 6MWT was 179.14+/-92.18 m at discharge, and increased to 
      335.20+/-115.51 m at the 4-6-week follow-up. The 6MWT at the 4-6-week follow-up was 
      independently correlated with 6MWT at discharge, regular exercise, age, gender, 
      and preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. CONCLUSION: 
      The independent predictors: 6MWT at discharge, regular exercise, age, gender, and 
      NYHA classification were used to generate an equation to predict 6MWT at 4-6 
      weeks after hospital discharge.
