  1. jSSC: juvenile systemic sclerosis, 6MWD: six-minute walk distance, SpO2 oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry in four patients. No significant correlation was found between 6MWD and disease activity (J4S) (r=.180 p=0.57) or modified Rodnan skin score (r=.016 p=0.96). Although 6MWD showed a negative correlation with lung involvement, it was significantly not correlated. (r=-.19 p=0.54). The results of 6MWT performed with 48-month intervals are presented in Table 1 comparatively
