Clinical and laboratory indicators predictive of the negative outcome of gastrointestinal emergencies in cattle

Abstract This study aimed to identify clinical and laboratory variables that could help predict the negative outcome in cattle affected by gastrointestinal emergencies. A retrospective cohort was carried out using multivariate logistic regression analysis based on data collected from records of hospitalized at Garanhuns Bovine Clinic, UFRPE campus. One hundred twenty-two met inclusion criteria established for study. Among variables, heart rate (HR) abdominal distension are associated with animals right displaced abomasum (RDA), anorexia 10% dehydration an obstructive intestinal disorder. plasma fibrinogen (PF) total leukocyte count were RDA, while PF L-lactate HR remained final model adjusted RDA. On other hand, Cattle RDA higher than 90 bpm present increased chance having a whereas disorder 1.84 mmol/L or 850 mg/dL have not survive. Therefore, such as HR, fibrinogen, useful emergencies, especially disorders.
