Periparturient reproductive complications appear to be common in hospitalized goats. More information is needed about periparturient reproductive complications and survival in goats with these conditions.
Identify exposure factors associated with nonsurvival in periparturient does hospitalized ≤1 day or ≥2 days.
A total of 198 periparturient does presented to 9 university veterinary hospitals from October 2021 to June 2022.
Multicenter, matched case-control study. Conditional logistic regression was used to identify exposure factors associated with nonsurvival in periparturient does hospitalized ≤1 day or ≥2 days.
Overall doe survival was 79% (156/198). Survival in the 1st day of hospitalization was 71% (52/73) and survival in does hospitalized ≥2 days was 83% (104/125). Among goats hospitalized ≤1 day, labor duration before admission (odds ratio [OR] = 4.8; P = .04), uterine tears (OR = 48.2; P < .001), and vaginal/perineal trauma diagnosed during hospitalization (OR = 6.2; P = .03) were associated with nonsurvival. Among goats hospitalized ≥2 days, factors associated with nonsurvival included labor duration before admission (OR = 6.2; P = .004), pregnancy toxemia (OR = 6.07; P = .04), and Cesarean section (OR = 11.35; P = .02).
Longer labor duration before admission is an important predictor of nonsurvival in hospitalized does. Clients should be educated that early detection and veterinary care are critical for improving outcome in periparturient does.
围产期生殖并发症似乎在住院山羊中很常见。需要更多关于围产期生殖并发症以及患有这些疾病的山羊的生存情况的信息。
确定与住院围产期母羊 ≤1 天或 ≥2 天内非存活相关的暴露因素。
2021 年 10 月至 2022 年 6 月,共有 198 只围产期母羊被送往 9 所大学兽医医院。
多中心、匹配病例对照研究。使用条件逻辑回归来确定与住院围产期母羊 ≤1 天或 ≥2 天内非存活相关的暴露因素。
母羊总存活率为 79%(156/198)。住院第 1 天的存活率为 71%(52/73),住院 ≥2 天的母羊存活率为 83%(104/125)。在住院 ≤1 天的母羊中,入院前分娩持续时间(比值比[OR] = 4.8;P =.04)、子宫撕裂(OR = 48.2;P <.001)和住院期间诊断的阴道/会阴创伤(OR = 6.2;P =.03)与非存活相关。在住院 ≥2 天的母羊中,与非存活相关的因素包括入院前分娩持续时间(OR = 6.2;P =.004)、妊娠毒血症(OR = 6.07;P =.04)和剖腹产(OR = 11.35;P =.02)。
入院前分娩时间延长是住院母羊非存活的重要预测指标。应告知客户,早期发现和兽医护理对改善围产期母羊的预后至关重要。
