Abstract: Abstract Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a heterogeneous collection of lung disorders that are gathered together because they share clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features. ILD.is also referred to as diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD). After diagnosing ILD we assess patient by HRCT (High resolution computed tomography) thorax, Spirometry, DLCO(Diffuse lung capacity of carbon monoxide), 6mwt. Often these parameters may not show co-relation between themselves. These are used to assess progression of the disease. Aim: Co-relation between six minute walk test and DLCO in patients with interstitial lung disease. Objective: • Co-relation of 6 minute walk test with DLCO. • Co-relation of 6 minute walk test with HRCT THORAX(Warrick score). • Co-relation of 6 minute walk test with spirometry(FVC). Materials and Methods: This study was done at a tertiary care centre in Bareilly City, of state Uttar Pradesh (INDIA) in this study all consecutive patients who were diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease on clinico-radiological basis, were registered and evaluated. A total of 57 patients were taken in the study. 6 MINUTE WALK TEST, HRCT thorax, DLCO and spirometry was done for patient assessment. Results: A total of 57 patients were taken in the study. The most common diagnosis was Idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (16) followed by Connected Tissue Disorder associated Interstitial Lung Disease (CTD-ILD) (12). In our study, 78.94% study population desaturated during 6MWT. There is significant association between 6MWT and DLCO the p-value is less than 0.05. There is insignificant association between 6MWT and spirometry p-value is more than 0.05. There is insignificant association between 6MWT and HRCT thorax the p-value is more than 0.05. Conclusion: There is insignificant correlation between 6MWT and FVC, therefore only FVC is not sufficient for the functional assessment of the disease. There is best correlation between 6MWT and DLCO as both the tests are for the functional assessment of the disease at physiological level. Therefore in resource limited settings where DLCO is not available 6MWT can be used as the best tool for functional assessment of the disease.
