LOINC Code 62619-2: PhenX - respiratory - exercise capacity - 6 minute walk test protocol 090601

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component PhenX - respiratory - exercise capacity - 6M walk test protocol 090601. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: DISCOURAGED
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: PhenX

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• PhenX - respiratory - exercise capacity - 6 minute walk test protocol 090601
• PhenX - respiratory - exercise capacity - 6M walk test protocol 090601
• The Six-Minute Walk Test is a timed test that requires minimal technical resources to measure the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes (the six-minute walk distance, 6MWD). This measure has been shown to be a reproducible, objective indicator of functional capacity and is a part of the multicomponent BODE index (body-mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity) that correlates with survival. It is important to emphasize that this is a test of maximum exercise performance; subjects should be instructed and encouraged to push themselves to achieve maximal distance.
