Post-treatment 6MWT, FC and proBNP had prognostic value in pediatric patients with PAH. The decrease in saturation and increase in heart rate were not found to have a prognostic value. Pre-treatment HR1 was associated with survival. Identification of these prognostic factors at the beginning and throughout the treatment may be a guide for detecting the severity of the disease and follow-up.
