使用从280名加拿大兽医收集的数据，作为全国性随机邮件调查的一部分（应答率57.8%），对影响犬和猫卵巢子宫切除术（OVH）术后使用镇痛剂的因素进行了评估。通过logistic回归确定的镇痛剂使用的预测因素包括每2名兽医中至少有1名动物卫生技术员（AHT）（OR = 2.3，P = 0.004），以及兽医对手术引起的疼痛的感知（OR = 1.5，P < 0.001）。线性回归确定了以下兽医对疼痛感知的预测因素：每2名兽医中存在1次以上AHT（系数= 0.42，P = 0.048）和毕业后的年数（系数=-0.073，P < 0.001）。其中一些风险因素与1994年确定的风险因素相似。结果表明，继续教育可能有助于增加止痛药的使用。其他重要的贡献者可能是客户教育和有效的疼痛评估方法。
Factors affecting the postincisional use of analgesics for ovariohysterectomy (OVH) in dogs and cats were assessed by using data collected from 280 Canadian veterinarians, as part of a national, randomized mail survey (response rate 57.8%). Predictors of analgesic usage identified by logistic regression included the presence of at least 1 animal health technician (AHT) per 2 veterinarians (OR = 2.3, P = 0.004), and the veterinarians' perception of the pain caused by surgery without analgesia (OR = 1.5, P < 0.001). Linear regression identified the following predictors of veterinarians' perception of pain: the presence of more than 1 AHT per 2 veterinarians (coefficient = 0.42, P = 0.048) and the number of years since graduation (coefficient = -0.073, P < 0.001). Some of these risk factors are similar to those identified in 1994. The results suggest that continuing education may help to increase analgesic usage. Other important contributors may be client education and a valid method of pain assessment.
