The results of a retrospective analysis of 3,804 endometrial biopsy specimens collected from non-pregnant mares during the course of routine equine stud farm practice demonstrates a significant and practically useful correlation between the severity of chronic degenerative endometrial disease (CDE) diagnosed and age of mare at the time of examination. There were significant correlations between the number of foals born and the mares' barren years prior to biopsy and the severity of CDE, but the differences were not sufficiently large to be useful. Correlations between the severity of chronic infiltrative endometritis (CIE) and age or pre-biopsy parity were minimal. The results suggest that using similar histopathological criteria to those used by Kenney and Doig (1986), mares up to nine years of age should have no signs of CDE, mares up to 13 years of age should have no more than mild signs, mares up to 15 years of age should have no more than moderate signs and mares aged 17 years or older are likely to have severe signs. We believe that these guidelines are a useful, objective aid for formulating a breeding prognosis.
对常规马匹养殖场实践过程中收集的3804份非妊娠母马子宫内膜活检标本进行回顾性分析的结果表明，所诊断的慢性退行性子宫内膜疾病（CDE）的严重程度与检查时母马的年龄之间存在显著且实际有用的相关性。活检前出生的驹数、母马的不孕年限与CDE的严重程度之间存在显著相关性，但差异不够大，无法实际应用。慢性浸润性子宫内膜炎（CIE）的严重程度与年龄或活检前产次之间的相关性极小。结果表明，采用与Kenney和Doig（1986年）相同的组织病理学标准，9岁以下的母马不应有CDE迹象，13岁以下的母马不应有超过轻度的迹象，15岁以下的母马不应有超过中度的迹象，17岁及以上的母马可能有严重迹象。我们认为，这些指导方针对于制定繁殖预后是一种有用的客观辅助工具。
