A retrospective cohort study was made of the racing performance of trotters which had been subjected routinely to radiography before they started training and racing. Sixty-one per cent (148) of the 243 horses, foaled in 3 consecutive years, had one or more abnormal findings categorised into 5 relevant groups based on radiography, of which osteochondrosis (OCD) was the most specific diagnosis. Parameters used to reflect racing performance were: proportion of horses starting in races, number of starts per year, earnings per year, earnings per start and racing longevity. No significant association between the presence or type of radiological abnormalities and the subsequent performance and longevity could be found. Horses with multiple lesions, however, had a tendency to lower earnings and poorer survival than horses with single lesions.
对在开始训练和比赛前常规接受X光检查的快步马的比赛表现进行了一项回顾性队列研究。在连续三年出生的243匹马中，61%（148匹）有一项或多项异常发现，根据X光检查结果分为5个相关组，其中骨软骨病（OCD）是最明确的诊断。用于反映比赛表现的参数有：参赛马匹的比例、每年参赛次数、每年收入、每次参赛收入和比赛寿命。未发现放射学异常的存在或类型与随后的表现和寿命之间有显著关联。然而，有多处病变的马比有单处病变的马有收入降低和存活较差的倾向。
