Prognostic factors for short-term survival of cats that experienced postattenuation neurologic signs after surgical attenuation of single congenital portosystemic shunts.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To report 30-day survival of cats that experienced postattenuation neurologic signs (PANS) after surgical attenuation of a single congenital portosystemic shunt (cPSS), and to investigate prognostic factors for short-term survival.

Study design

Multi-institutional retrospective study.

Sample population

A total of 59 cats with cPSS that experienced PANS.

Methods

The medical records of 10 institutions were retrospectively reviewed to identify cats that underwent cPSS attenuation from January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2023 and developed PANS within 7 days postoperatively. Exclusion criteria were cats with arteriovenous malformation and cats lost-to-follow-up prior to 30 days. Logistic regression identified factors associated with 30-day survival. Odds Rat
