To determine the percentage of Thoroughbred racehorses that would be capable of racing performance after recovery from infectious pleuropneumonia.
Retrospective case series.
70 Thoroughbred horses that had recovered from pleuropneumonia. Only horses < or = 5 years old and horses > 5 years old known to be in race training at the time of illness were included in the study.
Forty-three of the 70 (61%) horses raced after recovery, and 24 of the 43 (56%) won at least 1 race. Horses that required placement of an indwelling thoracic drain apparently did not have a worse prognosis than did horses that did not require placement of a drain. The prognosis for racing for horses that developed pleuropneumonia-associated complications (pulmonary abscess, cranial thoracic mass, bronchopleural fistula) was worse than the prognosis for horses that did not develop these complications. Duration of hospitalization was not considered indicative of outcome.
In Thoroughbreds, the prognosis for return to racing after recovery from uncomplicated pleuropneumonia appears to be good.
确定感染性胸膜肺炎康复后能够恢复比赛成绩的纯种赛马的比例。
回顾性病例系列研究。
70匹从胸膜肺炎康复的纯种马。仅纳入患病时年龄≤5岁以及已知年龄＞5岁且正在接受比赛训练的马匹。
70匹马中有43匹（61%）康复后参加了比赛，43匹马中有24匹（56%）至少赢得了1场比赛。需要留置胸腔引流管的马匹预后似乎并不比不需要留置引流管的马匹差。发生胸膜肺炎相关并发症（肺脓肿、胸腔前部肿块、支气管胸膜瘘）的马匹的比赛预后比未发生这些并发症的马匹差。住院时间不被认为是预后的指标。
在纯种马中，从单纯性胸膜肺炎康复后恢复比赛的预后似乎良好。
