Brief Summary:

Concordance between walking tests and pedometer data may seem like a logical outcome for pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients. However, many individuals have discordant results: results much worse or better during an in-hospital walking test as compared to real life activity.

The primary objective of this study is: to determine variables associated with discordance between the distance walked during an in-hospital 6-minute walking test (6MWT) and the average distance travelled per day (observed over a period of 28 days (2 × 14 days) using a pedometer) among PH patients.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Hypertension, Pulmonary Device: Pedometer Other: 6 minute walking test Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Secondarily, the discordance between 6MWT results versus total pedometer recorded distance and versus maximum daily pedometer-recorded distance will be similarly studied. The aim of the study is also to search for variables associated with progression free survival. The relationships between pedometer data and self-reported dyspnea variation will be studied. Factorial analysis may be used to study the overall view of variable correlations and patient similarity/dissimilarity.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: The study population

The study population as described by eligibility criteria.

Intervention: 6 minute walking test Intervention: pedometer

 Device: Pedometer
A pedometer will be worn by the patient at home for days 1 to 14 and 60 to 74.

Other: 6 minute walking test
Performed according to current recommendations during routine visits (baseline and ~90 days for the purposes of this study).


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The patient's discordance category as precisely defined here: [ Time Frame: 74 days ]

    Linear regression is performed for the distance walked during an initial 6 minute walking test (6MWT) and the average distance walked per day according to the pedometer intervention. The residuals from this regression will determine categories:

    Category 1 (pedometer high): the 25% of subjects not in category 2 and with higher values for pedometer data

    Category 2 (concordance): the 50% of included subjects with the smallest residuals in terms of absolute value.

    Category 3 (6MWT high): the 25% of subjects not in category 2 and with higher values for 6MWT data



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Health related quality of life questionnaire (the Medical Outcome Study - Short Form (SF36)) [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    This scale evaluates social, emotional and physical health of the patient through 11 questions.

  2. Health related quality of life questionnaire (the Medical Outcome Study - Short Form (SF36)) [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    This scale evaluates social, emotional and physical health of the patient through 11 questions.

  3. Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    It is a questionnaire which detects if the patient is anxious or depressed through 14 questions.

  4. Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    It is a questionnaire which detects if the patient is anxious or depressed through 14 questions.

  5. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory is a 20 question-scale. For each question 4 levels of response are possible from 1 (never) to 4 (always).

  6. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory is a 20 question-scale. For each question 4 levels of response are possible from 1 (never) to 4 (always).

  7. Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI)-20 questionnaire [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    This questionnaire assesses the severity of the patient fatigue through 20 questions. For each question, 4 levels of response are possible : from "not at all" to "completely".

  8. Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI)-20 questionnaire [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    This questionnaire assesses the severity of the patient fatigue through 20 questions. For each question, 4 levels of response are possible : from "not at all" to "completely".

  9. Coping with Health Injuries and Problems Scale [ Time Frame: Day 0 ]
    This questionnaire assesses how the patient responds to health injuries and problems with 32 questions. For each question 5 levels of response are possible from 1 (not at all) to 5 (always).

  10. Coping with Health Injuries and Problems Scale [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]
    This questionnaire assesses how the patient responds to health injuries and problems with 32 questions. For each question 5 levels of response are possible from 1 (not at all) to 5 (always).
