To report the prevalence and distribution of gastric ulceration within a group of racehorses and to describe the endoscopic appearance of gastric antrum and pyloric ulceration.
Retrospective clinical study.
Medical records from gastroscopic examinations of 345 racehorses (331 Thoroughbreds and 14 Standardbreds) were reviewed. Prevalence, distribution and severity of gastric ulcers were recorded. Lesions involving the squamous mucosa and the glandular mucosa of the antrum and pylorus were graded and compared.
Gastric ulceration was found in 86% of racehorses. The squamous mucosa around the margo plicatus was most commonly affected. The pylorus was examined in 175 horses and 47% were ulcerated. No association was found between presence of lesions of the squamous mucosa and those of the pylorus. Low correlation was found between grade and location of lesions, with the pyloric lesion score being significantly less than the squamous mucosal lesion score.
Gastric ulceration was present in a large proportion of racehorses. The pylorus was also an important site of ulceration. There was no association between presence of lesion at one site and the other, although there was a low correlation between grade of lesion and location, with the pyloric ulcer grade being lower.
报告一组赛马胃溃疡的患病率及分布情况，并描述胃窦和幽门溃疡的内镜表现。
回顾性临床研究。
回顾了345匹赛马（331匹纯种马和14匹标准bred马）胃镜检查的病历。记录胃溃疡的患病率、分布情况及严重程度。对涉及胃窦和幽门鳞状黏膜及腺性黏膜的病变进行分级并比较。
86%的赛马发现有胃溃疡。胃褶缘周围的鳞状黏膜最常受累。对175匹马的幽门进行了检查，其中47%有溃疡。未发现鳞状黏膜病变与幽门病变之间存在关联。病变分级与位置之间相关性较低，幽门病变评分显著低于鳞状黏膜病变评分。
大部分赛马存在胃溃疡。幽门也是溃疡的一个重要部位。一个部位的病变与另一个部位的病变之间无关联，尽管病变分级与位置之间存在较低的相关性，且幽门溃疡分级较低。
