Between August 1, 2009 and March 30, 2010, 75 consecutive patients with IPAH underwent 6MW test and were included in the analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements and Main Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Compared with patients with HRR1 \u2265 16 (n = 45 [60%]), those with HRR1 less than 16 (n = 30 [40%]) were more likely to have clinical worsening (odds ratio, 9.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3\u201330; P &amp;lt; 0.001) and shorter time to first clinical worsening event (TCW) (6.7 mo vs. 13 mo; P &amp;lt; 0.001) during follow-up. By multivariable analysis, the best predictors of clinical worsening were HRR1 less than 16 (hazard ratio, 5.2; 95% CI, 1.8\u201314.8; P = 0.002) and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.007\u20131.08; P = 0.02). Compared with the distance walked during the 6MW test (6MWD), HRR1 less than 16 was a better predictor of clinical worsening (C statistic 0.757 vs. 0.703) and TCW (C index 0.730 vs. 0.696).
