[Prognostic parameters in equine colic]
1I. Medizinischen Tierklinik, Tierärztlichen Fakultät, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
Abstract:
A retrospective study was performed on 271 horses with colic referred to the I. Medizinische Tierklinik within a period of 2 years, to examine the prognostic value of different clinical and diagnostic laboratory parameters by Student's t-test and the Chi-quadratic test. The following quantitative parameters presented a highly significant prognostic value (P < 0.0001): capillary refill time, pulse rate, heart rate, respiratory rate, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, blood lactate, base excess and anion gap. The intensity of colic signs, the degree of disturbance of the patient's general condition, the colour of the oral mucosa, the pulse quality as well as peristalsis proved to be qualitative variables with the greatest prognostic importance (P < 0.00001).
