Summary
This study looks at whether a simple 6-minute walk test can help predict how long cystic fibrosis patients will survive without needing a lung transplant. Researchers followed 291 adults with advanced cystic fibrosis, measuring how far they walked and their oxygen levels. The goal is to see if this easy test can give doctors a better idea of when a transplant might be needed.
