Urinary bladder diseases are common in dogs and cats; however, there is little published work on urinary bladder disease in Australian pets. We identified pathology records of Australian dogs and cats with urinary bladder tissue submitted to the University of Queensland Veterinary Laboratory Service during 1994-2016 ( = 320). We described the proportion of bladder diseases in dogs and cats, and applied the less-commonly used logistic regression procedure to quantify associations between signalment variables and disease diagnosis that were evident using descriptive statistics alone. After preliminary analysis, both species were combined because of similar results. Spayed/castrated animals were 74% less likely to be diagnosed with cystitis compared with intact animals. Animals 4-11 y old were also at lower risk of being diagnosed with cystitis compared with younger or older animals. Male animals were at increased risk of neoplasia compared to females, which contrasts with reports from North America and Europe. There was increased risk for developing neoplasia with progressive age, with up to 20 times higher odds in the > 11-y age group. Logistic regression modeling provided unique insight into proportionate morbidity of urinary bladder diseases in Australian dogs and cats.
犬猫的膀胱疾病较为常见，但澳大利亚宠物的膀胱疾病研究鲜有报道。本研究收集了 1994 年至 2016 年期间，昆士兰大学兽医实验室服务中心提交的犬猫膀胱组织病理学记录（=320 例）。我们描述了犬猫膀胱疾病的比例，并应用了不太常用的逻辑回归程序，对仅用描述性统计分析可发现的与疾病诊断相关的品种变量进行量化。初步分析后，由于结果相似，我们将两种动物进行了合并。与完整动物相比，绝育动物患膀胱炎的风险降低了 74%。4-11 岁的动物患膀胱炎的风险也低于幼龄或老龄动物。与北美和欧洲的报告相反，雄性动物的肿瘤发病率高于雌性动物。肿瘤的发病风险随年龄的增长而增加，11 岁以上的动物发病风险高达 20 倍。逻辑回归模型为了解澳大利亚犬猫膀胱疾病的发病情况提供了独特的视角。
