Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the several chronic diseases that are becoming increasingly problematic worldwide. Spirometry is a simple test that measures airway obstruction. COPD should be considered in any patient who has dyspnea, chronic cough or sputum production, and/or history of exposure to risk factors for the disease. The presence of a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.70 confirms the presence of persistent airflow limitation. Systematic data regarding COPD is lacking from this part of country.This cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in the department of chest and tuberculosis, government medical college, Amritsar and included 51 patients with clinical diagnosis of COPD as per GOLD criteria. COPD patients were diagnosed by Spirometry based on GOLD criteria and further evaluated by 6 minute walk test. The relation between 6MWD with FEV1 in COPD patients of mild to very severe stage as graded by GOLD was assessed.Correlation between pre FEV1 and post FEV1 with total distance walked was analysed and a significant positive correlation was seen between pre FEV1 and post FEV1 with total distance walked having ‘r’ value 0.69 and 0.64 respectively. This shows that as the FEV1 increases there is increase in the distance travelled during 6MWT.The correlation of 6MWT and spirometry in patient with respiratory diseases makes this test easy and a simple tool for assessing the disease status.
