Background: Postoperative respiratory complications (PRCs) are common after liver transplantation (LT) and contribute significantly to the related morbidity and mortality. Objective: The aim of this paper was to determine the incidence of PRCs after LT and the value of simple exercise capacity measures as independent predictors of PRCs. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of consecutive adults submitted to LT at a University Hospital in Fortaleza Brazil from March 2013 to March 2015. At baseline, exercise capacity was assessed with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and the 6-minute step test (6MST), lung function was tested by spirometry, and respiratory muscle strength was measured by maximal respiratory pressure. Addi...
