Performance on the one-minute sit-to-stand test predicts long-term adverse outcomes in pulmonary hypertension

Key Points

• Performance on the sit-to-stand test correlates with adverse outcomes over time, emphasizing its predictive value.
• In patients with pulmonary hypertension, low test scores were significantly associated with increased morbidity and mortality risks.
• This observational analysis highlights the prognostic importance of simple physiological measures in chronic conditions.
• Identifying risks through the test may enable better patient management and intervention, enhancing long-term care.
