“…The Cohort studies were the following: Kaneene et al [16] observed 138 farms in Michigan for 2 years and collected data monthly on 3 925 horses. Tinker et al [29,30] observed, for 1 year, colic events among 1 427 horses from 31 farms in Virginia and Maryland.…”

“…If not regular, watering increases the risk of colic; a reduction in watering is caused by several factors: the absence of a bucket in the stall [7], a limited access to water, in paddocks or on dry lands [26], a too low water temperature or a lack of water in cold weather [16,33].…”

-Many factors have been identified as risk factors for colic in horses in several epidemiological studies. The aim of our paper was to review the results of 12 epidemiological studies, in order to assess the impact of each risk factor for colic. According to the literature, the factors that increase the risk of colic are feeding practices (type and quality of food, type and changes of feeding), the intrinsic factors of horses (sex, age and breed), management (type and changes of housing and activity), medical history (a previous colic, administration of a medical treatment) and parasite control (the presence of worms and type of deworming program). Several individual factors were incriminated as risk factors by all the studies. Nevertheless, the different studies did not always agree on the role of other risk factors. The conclusions were tightly related to several criteria in the selection of the study population, like the type of the epidemiological study, the number and the origin of horses included and the location of the study. colic / epidemiological studies / horse / risk factors / feeding practices Résumé -Facteurs de risque associés au syndrome colique chez le cheval. Différentes études épidémiologiques ont mis en évidence plusieurs facteurs de risque de coliques chez le cheval. L'objectif de cet article a été de faire une synthèse des résultats de 12 études épidémiologiques, dans le but de déterminer l'impact de chaque facteur de risque dans l'apparition des coliques. D'après la littéra-ture, les facteurs augmentant les risques de coliques sont les pratiques d'alimentation (type et qualité des aliments, changements dans l'alimentation), les caractéristiques physiques des chevaux (âge, sexe, race), les pratiques d'élevage (type et changement de logement et d'activité), le passé sanitaire (historique des coliques, traitements médicaux) et le contrôle du parasitisme (présence de parasites, 641 Vet.

“…Apresenta alta incidência (KANEENE et al, 1997;TINKER et al, 1997a,b;HILLYER et al, 2001, TRAUB-DARGATZ et al, 2001MEHDI & MOHAMMAD, 2006) e alta letalidade, que varia de 6,7 a 50,0%, de acordo com o plantel equino estudado e o tipo de cólica (HUNT et al, 1986;TINKER et al, 1997a). Não é uma entidade nosológica específica e sim, um conjunto de múltiplas condições consequentes a determinadas disfunções de vísceras intra-abdominais, sendo responsável por grandes perdas econômicas devido a gastos com tratamento (TRAUB-DARGATZ et al, 2001), tempo de afastamento do equino de suas atividades normais, perdas decorrentes de infecções e abortos em éguas (SANTSCHI et al, 1991;BOENING & LEENDERTSE, 1993) e morte.…”

“…A letalidade passa de 13% nos casos não submetidos à cirurgia a 31% para aqueles casos cirúrgicos (KANEENE et al, 1997). Os episódios que resultam em cirurgia variam entre 1,4 e 6,3%, segundo os plantéis analisados e o tipo de cólica prevalecente (TINKER et al, 1997a;COHEN et al, 1999;TRAUB-DARGATZ et al, 2001).…”
