A novel, real-time mortality recording system was designed to collect mortality data in companion animals from veterinary hospitals in Taiwan. This retrospective study aims to introduce the system, and to utilize the data collected for further investigation of the lifespan and mortality of the domesticated cat population stratified by demographic variables. Our data revealed that 1325 domesticated cats were acquired between 2012 and 2014. The median age of the study population was 8.0 years (IQR 3.0-13.0; range 0.0-22.7). Neutered and purebred cats lived longer. The most common causes of death were renal and urologic disorders, followed by neoplasia, infection, cardiovascular disorders, and trauma. Independent factors for common causes were surveyed. Advanced age and neutering was found to be associated with death due to renal and urologic disorders as well as with neoplasia. In contrast, younger age was found to be associated with death due to trauma and infection; being unneutered and living in the capital city were found to be associated with death due to trauma. Being male or purebred was found to be associated with death due to cardiovascular disorders.
设计了一种新型实时死亡率记录系统，用于收集台湾兽医医院伴侣动物的死亡率数据。这项回顾性研究旨在介绍该系统，并利用所收集的数据，进一步调查按人口统计学变量分层的家养猫种群的寿命和死亡率。我们的数据显示，2012年至2014年期间共收养了1325只家养猫。研究人群的中位年龄为8.0岁（四分位间距3.0 - 13.0；范围0.0 - 22.7）。绝育猫和纯种猫寿命更长。最常见的死亡原因是肾脏和泌尿系统疾病，其次是肿瘤、感染、心血管疾病和创伤。对常见死因的独立因素进行了调查。发现老龄和绝育与因肾脏和泌尿系统疾病以及肿瘤导致的死亡有关。相比之下，年轻与因创伤和感染导致的死亡有关；未绝育和生活在首都城市与因创伤导致的死亡有关。雄性或纯种与因心血管疾病导致的死亡有关。
