Abstrakt: Background and Purpose: Though inspiratory muscle strength is essential for patients with respiratory disease, it is unclear whether the recovery of inspiratory muscle strength contributes to an exemplary achievement of exercise tolerance after lung transplantation (LTx). We aimed to elucidate the inspiratory muscle strength affects the recovery of exercise capacity after LTx. Methods: Recipients who underwent LTx between June 2017 and September 2018 were enrolled, and 6‐min walking distance (6MWD), quadriceps force, inspiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure [MIP]), and spirometry were evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months after LTx. The relationships between inspiratory muscle strength and changes in physical performance were analyzed. Results: Nineteen recipients (mean age: 44.8 years, male: 32%) who completed all follow‐ups were analyzed. At 3 months after LTx, mean MIP (88.4% predicted) and vital capacity (60.9% predicted), quadriceps force (QF; 2.1 N*m/kg), and 6MWD (504 m) were lower than normal values. After LTx, 6MWD significantly improved up to 12 months. From 3 to 6 months after LTx, changes in MIP were significantly associated with increases in 6MWD by univariate (r = 0.55, p = 0.02) and multivariate (β = 0.59, p = 0.01) regression analyses, whereas changes of QF in place of MIP were significantly associated with the recoveries of 6MWD from 6 to 12 months. Discussion: Improvements in MIP may impact the recovery of exercise capacity in the early phase after LTx. Factors that determine the improvement in exercise capacity following LTx may vary with postoperative time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
