在555只Cavalier King Charles猎犬的样本人群中调查了脊髓灰质炎的患病率。所有的狗，这是由他们的主人宣布没有表现出脊髓灰质炎的临床体征，进行MRI，以确定存在或不存在的条件。通过逻辑回归分析数据，以确定性别和年龄对脊髓灰质炎患病率的影响。只有年龄的增加才有显著的影响。在12个月大的狗中，脊髓灰质炎的患病率为25%，在72个月或更大的狗中，患病率上升到70%的峰值。
The prevalence of syringomyelia was investigated in a sample population of 555 Cavalier King Charles spaniels. All dogs, which were declared by their owners to be showing no clinical signs of syringomyelia, underwent MRI to determine the presence or absence of the condition. Data were analysed by logistic regression to determine the effects of sex and age on the prevalence of syringomyelia. Only increased age was found to have a significant effect. The prevalence of syringomyelia was 25 per cent in dogs aged 12 months, increasing to a peak of 70 per cent in dogs aged 72 months or more.
