Table 5.
Prognosis for survival and racing for horses treated for pleuropneumonia with pleural fluid at or above the point of the shoulder. Cases were subdivided into 2 groups based on the deposition of fibrin in the pleural space at any point during hospitalization. Data are expressed as number of horses (percent of the group). The P‐value presented is based on the combined data for TB and SB. TB = Thoroughbred, SB = Standardbred
| All Racehorses | NFO | FO | P‐value | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TB | SB | Both | TB | SB | Both | |||
| Survived | 32/44 (73%) | 4/4 (100%) | 1/1 (100%) | 5/5 (100%) | 23/31 (74%) | 4/8 (50%) | 27/39 (69%) | .30 |
| Survivors that raced | 24/32 (75%) | 2/4 (50%) | 1/1 (100%) | 3/5 (60%) | 18/23 (78%) | 1/4 (25%) | 19/27 (70%) | .64 |
| Racers that won | 15/24 (63%) | 2/2 (100%) | 1/1 (100%) | 3/3 (100%) | 12/18 (67%) | 0/1 (0%) | 12/19 (63%) | .52 |
