Survival outcomes and prognostic indicators in canine pancreatitis: A retrospective cohort study of acute kidney injury and concurrent diseases.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Canine pancreatitis is often complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI) and systemic comorbidities, both of which may worsen clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate survival rates in dogs with pancreatitis, stratified by the presence of AKI and other concurrent diseases, and to identify prognostic indicators for mortality. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Prasu Arthorn Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand, from February 2021 to February 2023. Medical records of 146 dogs diagnosed with pancreatitis (serum canine pancreatic lipase ≥400 μg/L and clinical signs) were reviewed. Dogs were categorized into four groups: Pancreatitis alone (n = 24), pancreatitis with AKI (n = 28), pancreatitis with concurrent diseases (n = 57), and pancreatitis with both AKI and concurrent diseases (n = 34). Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests, while prognostic factors were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: The overall mortality rate was 39.72% (58/146), with the highest mortality in dogs with AKI (Groups 2 and 4). Median survival was 4 days (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.0-11.7) in Group 2 and 7 days (95% CI: 2.7-11.2) in Group 4, while median survival was not reached in Groups 1 and 3 due to high survival. Hematocrit (HCT) and blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine ratio (BCR) were identified as independent predictors of mortality. Lower HCT (Hazard ratio [HR] = 0.967, 95% CI: 0.941-0.994, p = 0.019) and higher BCR (HR = 1.024, 95% CI: 1.007-1.041, p = 0.006) were significantly associated with increased risk of death. Conclusion: AKI is a major negative prognostic factor in canine pancreatitis, markedly reducing survival irrespective of concurrent systemic diseases. Readily available markers, such as HCT and BCR, provide practical tools for early triage and prognostic stratification. Incorporating these parameters into clinical decision-making may enhance outcomes by guiding intensive monitoring and targeted interventions.
