摘要
Meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO) in the dog is an inflammatory condition of the central nervous system with variable short-and long-term prognosis. Previous studies have attempted to identify risk factors for early death; however, the findings were inconsistent and prognostication and treatment selection remain difficult for cases of MUO. The aim of this study was to compare the influence of putative prognostic factors on early survival in dogs with MUO. Logistic regression was used to analyse the effect of clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features at diagnosis and type of immune-suppressive treatment received on survival at three-time points; 7 days, 30 days, and 100 days post-diagnosis. Ninety eight dogs were included.Dogs that were obtunded at presentation had a 6.6 times increased odds of death in the first 7 days after diagnosis, a 2.1 times increased risk of death 8-30 days after diagnosis, and a 1.9 times increased risk of death 31-100 days after diagnosis. No other clinical, MRI feature, or treatment was found to have a significant in-fluence on survival. Obtundation at presentation was found to increase risk of early euthanasia in dogs with MUO, while the addition of an IV infusion of cytarabine to immune-suppressive corticosteroid therapy (pred-nisolone and/or dexamethasone) at initial treatment did not improve the odds of survival at 7, 30, or 100 days after diagnosis.
