To estimate the national incidence of, operation-level risk factors for, and annual economic impact of colic among horses in the United States during 1998 and 1999.
Epidemiologic survey.
21,820 horses on 1,026 horse operations in 28 states.
Horses were monitored for colic for 1 year, and results were recorded in a log that was collected quarterly. Operation-level data were collected via 4 on-site personal interviews. Associations between colic and independent variables adjusted for size of operation were determined.
Annual national incidence of colic in the US horse population was estimated to be 4.2 colic events/100 horses per year. Case fatality rate was 11%, and 1.4% of colic events resulted in surgery. Annual cost of colic in the United States was estimated to be $115,300,000.
The national impact of equine colic is substantial because of the high case fatality rate.
评估1998年和1999年美国马匹中绞痛的全国发病率、手术层面的风险因素以及每年的经济影响。
流行病学调查。
来自28个州1026个马场的21820匹马。
对马匹进行为期1年的绞痛监测，并将结果记录在按季度收集的日志中。通过4次现场个人访谈收集马场层面的数据。确定了经马场规模调整后的绞痛与自变量之间的关联。
估计美国马匹群体中绞痛的年发病率为每年每100匹马发生4.2次绞痛事件。病死率为11%，1.4%的绞痛事件导致手术。美国每年因绞痛产生的费用估计为1.153亿美元。
由于高病死率，马绞痛对全国的影响很大。
