Prognostic indicators in cats with septic peritonitis (2002-2015): 83 cases. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to understand factors influencing outcomes in cats with septic peritonitis (SP), analyzing data from 83 cats over a 13-year period in teaching hospitals.
  • Findings revealed that 69.9% of the cats survived to discharge, with gastrointestinal perforation being the most common cause of SP. Higher blood glucose levels were linked to poorer outcomes.
  • Additionally, cats given the right empirical antibiotics were significantly more likely to survive, emphasizing the importance of timely and appropriate antimicrobial treatment.

Article Abstract

Objective: To identify physical exam findings, clinicopathological parameters, time to surgery, empirical antimicrobial use, and culture results that could be associated with outcome in cats with septic peritonitis (SP).

Design: Retrospective cohort study of cats from 2002 to 2015.

Setting: Four university teaching hospitals.

Animals: Eighty-three cats diagnosed with SP by cytology or culture.

Interventions: None MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Fifty-eight cats survived to discharge (69.9%); 1 cat was euthanized in surgery; 20 were euthanized postoperatively; 4 cats suffered cardiac arrest after surgery. The most common etiology of SP was secondary SP due to gastrointestinal perforation (49.4%), followed by primary SP (22.3%). Mean blood glucose concentration was significantly different between survivors and nonsurvivors (P = 0.006). Cats that received appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy were 4.4 times more likely to survive than cats that did not receive appropriate antibiotics (P = 0.018).

Conclusions: As previously documented, SP secondary to gastrointestinal leakage was the most common etiology. In this population, cats with a higher blood glucose concentration on presentation had a worse prognosis. Cats that received appropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy were more likely to survive.
