CPET indicators that correlate with outcome.
| Disease | CPET outcome variable | Reference |
| Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis | VO2 ≤ 8.3 mL/min/kg | [10] | PaO2 slope ≤ −60 mmHg/L/min | [11] | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease | VO2 max (<15 mL/min/kg) | [12] | VO2 max < 60% predicted | [12] | VO2 max | [13] | PaO2 slope ≤ −80 mmHg/L/min | [14] | Pulmonary vascular disease | peak SBP ≤ 120 mm or less and | [15] | peak VO2 ≤ 10.4 mL/kg/min | | Cystic fibrosis | VO2 max,VE/VO2, peak work | [16] | VO2 of 45 mL/min/kg | [17] |
