Objective To explore the value of the 6-minute walk test method in adolescent children with scoliosis and pulmonary insufficiency. Methods A total of 60 adolescent children with scoliosis who were admitted to our hospital from March 2019 to February 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Among them, 30 children with normal pulmonary function were included in the control group, and 30 children with pulmonary insufficiency were included in the research group . The clinical data of the children were collected, including Cobb angle, pulmonary function test indicators [forced vital capacity (FCV), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), maximum expiratory flow (PEF)] and arterial blood gas analysis indicators [partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2)], and 6-minute walking distance. The correlation between 6-minute walking distance and Cobb angle, pulmonary function test indexes and arterial blood gas analysis indexes was analyzed. Results The 6-minute walking distance in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, the FCV, FEV1, PEF, and PaO2 were lower than those in the control group, and the Cobb angle and PaCO2 were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the 6-minute walking distance was positively correlated with FCV, FEV1, PEF, and PaO2 , and negatively correlated with Cobbs angle and PaCO2 (P<0.05). Conclusion The 6-minute walk test method is used in adolescent scoliosis, which can effectively distinguish children with pulmonary insufficiency, and the test results are significantly correlated with pulmonary function, which is useful for the diagnosis of pulmonary function in adolescent children with scoliosis. important value.
