This study found weak correlations between lung function testing and exercise capacity in patients with post-TB lung disease (PTLD), with only forced vital capacity (FVC) showing a higher correlation with peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)peak).
BACKGROUND: After TB treatment, many patients have post-TB lung disease (PTLD), associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Nevertheless, relationships between lung function testing and exercise capacity in people with PTLD are poorly understood. METHODS: This single-centre study investigated the association between lung function testing and peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)peak) and percentage-predicted VO(2)peak (VO(2)peak (%pred)) in adults with PTLD investigated for surgery. RESULTS: Eighty-two patients (52 males, 30 females) with a mean age of 43.2 years (SD 11.3) were included. Spirometric values of forced vital capacity (FVC) percentage predicted (%pred) and forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) %pred suggested significant correlations with VO(2)peak (%pred) (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001), whereas FEV1/FVC did not. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) %pred also correlated significantly with VO(2)peak (%pred) (P = 0.002). However, the magnitude of all significant correlation coefficients were weak. No significant correlations for any plethysmographic values with VO(2)peak (%pred) could be robustly concluded. Correlations with VO(2)peak (ml/kg/min) for most physiological variables were less robust than for VO(2)peak (%pred). CONCLUSIONS: Although statistically significant, the correlations between any measure of lung function and VO(2)peak or VO(2)peak (%pred) were weak, with only FVC correlation coefficient surpassing 0.50.
