Breed predispositions, clinical findings, and prognostic factors for death in dogs with nonregenerative immune-mediated anemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breed predispositions, survival, and prognostic factors have not been evaluated in dogs with nonregenerative immune-mediated anemia (nrIMA).

Hypothesis/objectives

To describe clinicopathologic variables, evaluate their associations with survival, and determine breed predispositions for dogs with nrIMA.

Animals

Fifty-nine client-owned dogs with nrIMA.

Methods

Referral hospital records were reviewed retrospectively for dogs with primary nrIMA (PCV ≤30%, corrected reticulocyte percentage (CR%) ≤1.0, bone marrow sampling with evidence of immune-mediated destruction, and underlying causes excluded). Breed predispositions were evaluated by calculation of odds ratios in a case control study; prognostic factors by logistic regression in a cohort study.
