Abstract

Background: Oxygen uptake (VO2) evaluations by cardiopulmonary exercise test is expensive and time-consuming. Estimating VO2 based on a field test would be an alternative. Objective: To develop and validate an equation to predict VO2peak based on the modified shuttle test (MST). Methods: Cross sectional study, with 97 children and adolescents with asthma. Participants were divided in two groups: the equation group (EG), to construct the equation model of VO2peak, and the cross-validation group (VG). Each subject performed the MST twice using a portable gas analyzer. The peak VO2peak during MST was used in the equation model. The patients' height, weight, gender, and distance walked (DW) during MST were tested as independent variables. Results: The final model [-0.457 + (gender × 0.139) + (weight × 0.025) + (DW × 0.002)] explained 87% of VO2peak variation. The VO2peak predicted was similar to VO2peak measured by gas analyzer (1.9 ± 0.5 L/min and 2.0 ± 0.5 L/min, respectively) (p = 0.67), and presented significant ICC 0.91 (IC95% 0.77 to 0.96); p < 0.001. The Bland-Altman analysis showed low bias (-0.15 L/min) and limits of agreement (-0.65 to 0.35 L/min). There was no difference in DW between EG (760 ± 209 m) and VG (731 ± 180 m), p = 0.51. Conclusion: The developed equation adequately predicts VO2peak in pediatric patients with asthma.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 December 2020.
All research outputs
#14,138,420
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Physiology
#4,976
of 13,847 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#179,318
of 329,805 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Physiology
#231
of 479 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,847 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,805 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 479 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
