Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Animal hoarding is a special manifestation of Hoarding Disorder, characterized by the accumulation of animals and failure to provide them with minimal care. The main objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the characteristics of animal hoarding with a focus on the profile of affected individuals and accumulation behavior features.

METHODS

A systematic search of the literature using the electronic databases MEDLINE, SCOPUS and LILACS was conducted until October 2022. We included case series (n ≥ 10) and cross-sectional studies assessing animal hoarding.

RESULTS

374 studies were initially retrieved. Most studies were classified as poor quality and significant risk of bias. 538 individuals with animal hoarding were evaluated. These individuals were predominantly middle-aged, unmarried females who lived alone in urban areas. Most residences presented unsanitary conditions. Recidivism rates varied from 13-41%. Cats and dogs were the main hoarded species, mostly acquired through unplanned breeding and found with lack of hygiene; diseases; injuries; and behavioral problems. Animal carcasses were found in up to 60% of the properties.

CONCLUSION

Animal hoarding is a complex condition that requires urgent attention. More research is necessary to develop effective strategies that can save community resources, improve animal and human welfare, and prevent recidivism.

摘要

目的

动物囤积是囤积障碍的一种特殊表现形式，其特征是动物数量不断累积且未能为它们提供最基本的照料。本系统评价的主要目的是评估动物囤积的特征，重点关注受影响个体的特征及囤积行为特点。

方法

截至2022年10月，使用电子数据库MEDLINE、SCOPUS和LILACS对文献进行了系统检索。我们纳入了病例系列研究（n≥10）和评估动物囤积的横断面研究。

结果

最初检索到374项研究。大多数研究被归类为质量较差且存在显著偏倚风险。对538名有动物囤积行为的个体进行了评估。这些个体主要是独居在城市地区的中年未婚女性。大多数住所卫生条件不佳。复发率在13%-41%之间。猫和狗是主要被囤积的动物种类，大多是通过非计划繁殖获得的，存在卫生状况差、患病、受伤及行为问题。在多达60%的住所中发现了动物尸体。
