Objective-To compare the accuracy of the extended-hip radiographic (EHR) score, the distraction index (DO, and the dorsolateral subluxation (DLS) score for identifying hip dysplasia in dogs at 8 months of age.Design-Cohort studyAnimals-129 Labrador Retrievers, Greyhounds, and Labrador Retriever-Greyhound crossbreds.Procedure-Radiography was performed when dogs were 8 months of age. Dogs were euthanatized at 8 to 36 months of age; hip dysplasia was diagnosed at the time of necropsy on the basis of results of a gross examination of the articular cartilage of the hip joints for signs of osteoarthritis.Results-The EHR score, DI, and DLS score at 8 months of age were all significantly correlated with degree of cartilage degeneration at necropsy. Sensitivity and specificity of using EHR score at 8 months of age to diagnose hip dysplasia (scores > 3 were considered abnormal) were 38 and 96%, respectively; sensitivity and specificity of using DI (values > 0.7 were considered abnormal) were 50 and 89%; and sensitivity and specificity of using DLS score (scores 55% were considered abnormal) were 83 and 84%.Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Results suggested that specificities of the 3 methods for diagnosing hip dysplasia in dogs at 8 months of age were similar. However, the DLS score had higher sensitivity, indicating that there were fewer false-negative results.
