Classification of Patients Based on Dyspnea and Desaturation During Exercise in Interstitial Lung Disease
Subjects with ILD were classified into 4 characteristic clusters using dyspnea and S<sub>pO<sub>2</sub></sub> at the end of the 6MWT. The 4 clusters are characterized as follows: Cluster 1 had mild desaturation and mild dyspnea; cluster 2 had mild desaturation and severe dyspnea; cluster 3 had both moderate desaturation and dyspnea, and cluster 4 had both severe desaturation and dyspnea. These classification data offer insight for individualized pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with ILD.
