“…The score is easy to use and can be performed by all practitioners, as it is intended to be calculated based on physical examination findings. Since development, the association of ATT with outcome in dogs has been demonstrated in multiple retrospective studies . A prospective, multicenter study of ATT in dogs found that an ATT ≥ 5 had an 83% sensitivity and 91% specificity in predicting nonsurvival in dogs with trauma .…”

Objective: To document the clinical and clinicopathologic changes in cats presenting with trauma from bite wounds, identify common abnormalities associated with bite wounds, and to determine whether the calculated animal trauma triage (ATT) score is related to any clinicopathologic abnormalities.Design: Retrospective descriptive study. Setting: University veterinary teaching hospital.Animals: Forty-three client-owned cats that presented for bite wounds to a large, urban, veterinary hospital between 1998 and 2009. Interventions: None.Measurements and main results: Pertinent history, physical examination findings, results of biochemical testing, and outcome were extracted from medical records. Animal triage trauma score was calculated based on the physical examination at presentation in cats with adequate available information. Patients were classified as having either a low (<5) ATT (n = 20) or a high (≥5) ATT (n = 23) score. Male cats were overrepresented (65.1%), and a majority of cats had outdoor access (53.4%). Low venous blood pH (P = 0.047), high plasma lactate concentration (P = 0.018), and low ionized calcium concentration (P = 0.004) were associated with higher ATT scores. Conclusions:There is a significant association between low venous blood pH, high plasma lactate concentration, and low ionized calcium concentration and higher ATT scores at presentation in cats suffering from bite wounds. Early recognition of these abnormalities may help to identify more severely injured patients.

“…The ATT score is based on a 0–3 scale (0 being slight or no injury, 3 indicating severe injury) with assessment of 6 independent components (perfusion, cardiac, respiratory, eye/muscle/skin, skeletal, and neurologic) that contribute equally to the overall predictive score (see Table in the Appendix). The ATT has been widely utilized in veterinary medicine, both clinically and in clinical research settings . However, despite its utility as a benchmark veterinary trauma score, the ATT has received relatively limited prospective validation and has not been updated in the last 20 years.…”

“…Embora cães e gatos possuam uma habilidade marcante de compensar a perda do tecido cerebral após trauma craniano (Dewey 2000, Sande & West 2010, lesões graves estão associadas a alto índice de mortalidade (Dewey 2000), que ocorre principalmente devido à baixa perfusão e oxigenação cerebral (Garosi & Adamantos 2011, Sharma & Holowaychuk 2015. Além disso, nos cães que sobrevivem pode não haver capacidade funcional como animais de estimação, pois vários pacientes apresentam sequelas neurológicas importantes (Vianna & Arias 2013), conforme constatado no presente estudo, evidenciando que o prognóstico para esses pacientes é considerado de reservado a mau (Dewey 2000).…”

RESUMO.-Cães e gatos com problemas neurológicos estão sujeitos a várias sequelas e complicações, em decorrência das deficiências motoras, sensoriais e viscerais. Algumas complicações estão relacionadas a maior mortalidade, principalmente aquelas relacionadas ao trauma vertebromedular. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar nessas espécies a frequência do aparecimento de complicações, a epidemiologia, localização da lesão e etiologia, avaliando ainda a evolução e o tempo de sobrevida. Foram acompanhados 100 cães e gatos com doenças neurológicas trazidos para atendimento no Serviço de Neurologia do Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Observou-se que 91% dos animais desenvolveram complicações, sendo que as mais frequentes foram atrofia muscular (n=32), retenção urinária (n=24), incontinência urinária (n=24), incontinência fecal (n=17) e feridas de decúbito (n=16). O principal local de lesão associado ao aparecimento das complicações foi medula espinhal (91,3%) e a principal etiologia foi o trauma vertebromedular (37,3%). O tempo mediano e médio de vida estimado foram, respectivamente, dois e sete meses sendo que as principais causas de morte ou eutanásia estavam relacionadas ao trauma vertebromedular, trauma cranioencefálico ou doença inflamatória/infecciosa. O tempo de vida estimado foi menor para animais mais velhos e mais pesados. Embora o índice de sobrevivência dos animais com complicações tenha sido alto, muitos permaneceram com sequelas, indicando que a sobrevivência não significou capacidade funcional normal. Cães e gatos com problemas neurológicos requerem alto grau de atenção do veterinário e de seus tutores, sendo ABSTRACT.-Santoro M.B. & Bahr Arias M.V. 2018. [Complications observed in dogs and cats with neurological diseases]. Complicações observadas em cães e gatos com doenças neurológicas. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 38(6):1159-1171. Dogs and cats with neurological diseases can show several sequelae and complications as a result of motor, sensory and visceral deficiencies. Some complications are an important cause of mortality, mainly complications related to spinal cord injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate in 100 dogs and cats brought to the Neurology Service of Veterinary Hospital from Universidade Estadual de Londrina the frequency of complications, epidemiology, lesion localization and etiology, still assessing the evolution and survival time.It was observed that 91% of the animals developed complications. The most frequent were muscular atrophy (n=32), urinary retention (n=24), urinary incontinence (n=24), fecal incontinence (n=17) and pressure sores (n=16). The main site of injury associated with the onset of complications was spinal cord (91%) and the main cause was the spinal cord trauma (37.3%). The median survival time of animals with complications was two months and the mean was seven months. The main causes of death or euthanasia were related do spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injury or inflammatory/infectious disease. The estimated lifetime was l...
