Grouped-level of diagnostic precision: multivariable logistic regression adjusted odds ratios with corresponding 95 % CIs (confidence intervals) for the most common disorders overall in French Bulldogs and non-French Bulldogs under primary veterinary care at UK practices participating in the VetCompass™ Programme from January 1st 2016 to December 31st, 2016. Model variables accounted for included age, sex-neuter status, at/above or below mean bodyweight, insurance status and veterinary group
