To evaluate the incidence of colic and risk factors for colic in equids hospitalized for ocular disease.
Retrospective observational study. Animals-337 equids (317 horses, 19 ponies, and 1 donkey) hospitalized for ocular disease.
Medical records of equids hospitalized for > 24 hours for treatment of ocular disease between January 1997 and December 2008 were reviewed. Information from only the first hospitalization was used for equids that were hospitalized for ocular disease on more than 1 occasion. Information gathered included the signalment, the type of ocular lesion and the treatment administered, and any colic signs recorded during hospitalization as well as the severity, presumptive diagnosis, and treatment of the colic. Statistical analysis was used to identify any risk factors for colic in equids hospitalized for ocular disease.
72 of 337 (21.4%) equids hospitalized for ocular disease had signs of colic during hospitalization. Most equids (59.7% [43/72]) had mild signs of colic, and most (87.5% [63/72]) were treated medically. Ten of 72 (13.9%) equids with colic had a cecal impaction. Risk factors for colic in equids hospitalized for ocular disease were age (0 to 1 year and ≥ 21 years) and an increased duration of hospitalization (≥ 8 days).
There was a high incidence of colic in equids hospitalized with ocular disease in this study. Findings from this study may help identify equids at risk for development of colic and thereby help direct implementation of prophylactic measures.
评估因眼部疾病住院的马属动物患绞痛的发生率及绞痛的危险因素。
回顾性观察研究。动物——337匹因眼部疾病住院的马属动物（317匹马、19匹矮种马和1头驴）。
回顾了1997年1月至2008年12月期间因眼部疾病住院治疗超过24小时的马属动物的病历。对于不止一次因眼部疾病住院的马属动物，仅使用首次住院的信息。收集的信息包括特征、眼部病变类型和所给予的治疗，以及住院期间记录的任何绞痛体征以及绞痛的严重程度、初步诊断和治疗。采用统计分析来确定因眼部疾病住院的马属动物患绞痛的任何危险因素。
337匹因眼部疾病住院的马属动物中有72匹（21.4%）在住院期间出现绞痛体征。大多数马属动物（59.7%[43/72]）有轻度绞痛体征，且大多数（87.5%[63/72]）接受了药物治疗。72匹患绞痛的马属动物中有10匹（13.9%）发生盲肠阻塞。因眼部疾病住院的马属动物患绞痛的危险因素是年龄（0至1岁和≥21岁）以及住院时间延长（≥8天）。
本研究中因眼部疾病住院的马属动物患绞痛的发生率较高。本研究结果可能有助于识别有患绞痛风险的马属动物，从而有助于指导预防措施的实施。
