年龄和品种被认为是伴侣犬疾病患病率和死亡率的最大风险因素。了解疾病的流行与年龄和品种的关系，将有助于为未来的卫生保健战略提供适当的指导，并为疾病的早期诊断提供有用的信息。本研究的目的是调查韩国初级保健兽医诊所就诊犬的主要医疗原因，按年龄和品种分层。从2016年1月1日至2016年12月31日，共分析了11家兽医诊所的15，531份犬患者病历。使用电子病历（EMR）系统收集数据，包括动物识别号、年龄、品种、性别、中性状态、临床信息和诊断。使用世界卫生组织的国际疾病分类系统对电子病历数据进行分类;根据品种和生命阶段识别出现的体征或诊断。在年龄组中，预防性药物（16.7%置信区间（CI）[15.9-17.5]）是<1岁和1-3岁年龄组就诊的最常见原因。此外，在这些年龄组中经常进行绝育手术（6.6% CI [6.0-7.1]）和髌骨脱位（1.4% CI [1.8-2.7]）。在4-6岁组中，外耳炎（8.8% CI [7.8-10.0]）和皮炎或湿疹（8.5% CI [7.5-9.6]）是常见的医学问题。在老年犬（>10岁）中，心脏病、肾脏病、库欣病和乳腺肿瘤的患病率高于其他年龄组。小型犬和玩具犬占本次分析中所有犬的67.7%。对于所有品种，外耳炎，皮炎或湿疹，呕吐和腹泻是常见的医疗问题。这项研究确定了最常见的疾病以及不同年龄和品种的疾病发病率差异。来自访问初级保健兽医诊所的狗的电子病历的信息可以提供背景知识，以便更好地了解疾病模式和年龄和品种的发生率。这项研究的信息可以帮助制定预防疾病的策略，并识别健康问题，以便更有效地管理伴侣犬的疾病。
Age and breed are considered the greatest risk factors for disease prevalence and mortality in companion dogs. Understanding the prevalence of diseases, in relation to age and breed, would support appropriate guidance for future health care strategies and provide useful information for the early diagnosis of diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the major medical causes for dogs visiting primary-care veterinary clinics in the Republic of Korea, stratified by age and breed. A total of 15,531 medical records of canine patients were analyzed from 11 veterinary clinics who shared data from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. An electronic medical record (EMR) system was used for data collection, which included the animal identification number, age, breed, gender, neuter status, clinical information, and diagnosis. EMR data were classified using the International Classification of Disease system from the World Health Organization; presenting signs or diagnoses were identified according to breed and life stage. Within the age groups, preventive medicine (16.7% confidence intervals (CI) [15.9–17.5]) was the most common cause for clinic visits for the <1 year and 1–3 year groups. Additionally, neutering surgery (6.6% CI [6.0–7.1]) and patella luxation (1.4% CI [1.8–2.7]) were frequently performed in these age groups. In the 4–6 year group, otitis externa (8.8% CI [7.8–10.0]) and dermatitis or eczema (8.5% CI [7.5–9.6]) were common medical problems. In older dogs (>10 year), the prevalences of heart disease, kidney disease, Cushing’s disease, and mammary tumors were higher than in the other age groups. Small and toy breed dogs comprised 67.7% of all dogs in this analysis. For all breeds, otitis externa, dermatitis or eczema, vomiting, and diarrhea were common medical problems. This study identified the most common medical disorders and differences in prevalences of diseases, according to age and breeds. The information from EMRs for dogs visiting primary-care veterinary clinics can provide background knowledge that is required to enable a better understanding of disease patterns and occurrence by age and breeds. The information from this study could enable the creation of strategies for preventing diseases and enable the identification of health problems for more effective disease management in companion dogs.
