A case-control study was conducted at the Texas Veterinary Medical Center between January 1, 1986 and December 31, 1991. Logistic regression was used to assess age, breed, sex, and seasonality as risk factors for equine laminitis. There were 70 acute cases, 183 chronic cases, and 779 controls. No statistical association was found between age, breed, sex, or seasonality and the diagnosis of acute laminitis. For chronic cases, the estimated odds ratio was statistically significant for age (OR = 1.05, 95% CI (1.02, 1.08)) and for the diagnosis of laminitis in the third quarter of the year (OR = 2.57, 95% CI (1.55, 4.25)) relative to the first quarter. There was no statistical association between breed or sex and chronic laminitis.
1986年1月1日至1991年12月31日期间，在德克萨斯兽医医学中心开展了一项病例对照研究。采用逻辑回归分析评估年龄、品种、性别和季节性作为马属动物蹄叶炎的风险因素。共有70例急性病例、183例慢性病例和779例对照。未发现年龄、品种、性别或季节性与急性蹄叶炎诊断之间存在统计学关联。对于慢性病例，相对于第一季度，年龄（比值比=1.05，95%置信区间(1.02, 1.08)）以及一年中第三季度蹄叶炎的诊断（比值比=2.57，95%置信区间(1.55, 4.25)）的估计比值比具有统计学意义。品种或性别与慢性蹄叶炎之间不存在统计学关联。
