Abstract
【目的】漸増シャトルウォーキングテスト(ISWT)は,Singhの予測式により最高酸素摂取量(peakVO_2)が推定されている。しかし,Singhの予測式は中高年者の西洋人をもとに作成されており,本邦における高齢COPD患者への適用に関する検証がなされていない。そこで本研究では,Singhらの予測式によるpeakVO_2推定(予測peakVO_2)が,高齢COPD患者において適用可能か否か検討することを目的とした。【方法】下肢骨関節障害がなく症状の安定しているCOPD患者20名を対象にISWTを実施し,携帯型呼気ガス分析計を用いてpeakVO_2(実測peakVO_2)を測定した。実測peakVO_2と予測peakVO_2の比較を共分散分析を用いて検討した。この場合,Singhらの報告および乱数表にて測定誤差を算出し,測定誤差を加算した予測peakVO_2を用いて,統計処理を100回実施した。【結果】解析しえた99回の共分散分析の結果,2回のみ有意差を認め(p=0.025,0.045),97回の解析において有意差を認めず,実測peakVO_2と予測peakVO_2が統計学上ほぼ一致した。【結論】Singh予測式から推定するpeakVO_2は,本対象高齢COPD患者においても適用可能であることが示唆された。
Purpose: The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) is used to estimate the peak oxygen uptake (peakVO_2) of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, in Japanese older COPD, the application of the regression equation for estimated peakVO_2 is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare estimated peakVO_2 and actual peakVO_2 using the ISWT. Methods: Twenty clinically stable COPD patients (mean [SD] age=77 [4] years; mean [SD] % predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second=65.9 [12.5]) were recruited from those with prior participation in an out-patient pulmonary rehabilitation program. Subjects carried out the ISWT, and determined walking distance. The test was used with a portable metabolic meter to measure actual peakVO_2. Estimated peakVO_2 was calculated using the single regression equation reported by Singh SJ et al. Subsequently, the measurement error of the estimated peakVO_2 was calculated 100 times using random numbers. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) testing was used to compare actual peakVO_2 and estimated peakVO_2 included measurement error, this analysis was also repeated 100 times. Results: There was no significant difference between estimated and actual peakVO_2 by ANCOVA (p<0.05) during 97 times. Conclusions: The single regression equation reported by Singh SJ et al. was shown to be applicable for a population of older COPD.
