The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is easy to perform, well-tolerated, and more reflective of activities of daily living. Spirometry is unavailable in many areas of Ethiopia, where 6MWT can be done easily. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between Distance covered by 6MWT and other physiologic parameters of COPD with Spirometry result.en-USCOPD patients6MWT distancesSpirometryTASHAddis AbabaEthiopiaThesis
