The aim of this study was to identify clinical features that could be used to identify individual dogs within the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association canine population at risk of being diagnosed as atopic in the future before they had fully developed the condition.
Clinical histories of atopic and non-atopic dogs from the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association population were analysed and statistically significant differences identified between the two groups.
Atopic dogs were consistently affected by skin disease at a younger age than non-atopic dogs and that there was a significant difference in event curves between atopic and non-atopic dogs at 10 months of age. From a predictive point of view, dogs that suffered from four or more episodes of atopic-type skin disease by the age of 15 months were at an increased risk of developing atopic dermatitis.
It is suggested that the clinical history of all dogs from the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association about to undergo training should be examined for these factors to assess whether or not they should undergo training.
本研究的目的是确定临床特征，以便在导盲犬协会的犬类群体中，在个体犬只完全发展为特应性疾病之前，识别出未来有被诊断为特应性疾病风险的犬只。
分析了导盲犬协会中特应性犬和非特应性犬的临床病史，并确定了两组之间的统计学显著差异。
特应性犬比非特应性犬在更年轻的时候就持续受到皮肤病的影响，并且在10月龄时，特应性犬和非特应性犬的事件曲线存在显著差异。从预测的角度来看，15月龄时患有4次或更多次特应性皮肤病发作的犬只患特应性皮炎的风险增加。
建议对导盲犬协会所有即将接受训练的犬只的临床病史进行这些因素的检查，以评估它们是否应该接受训练。
